More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Things of heaven cannot be obtained by perseverance they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith. We cannot pay for it in any form, in any way, by our goodness, by our piety, by our great qualities, merits, or virtues nothing. It is a gift, and all we can do is receive it.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The religion of the Sufi is the religion of the heart. The principal moral of the Sufi is to consider the heart of others, so that in the pleasure and displeasure of his fellow-man he sees the pleasure and displeasure of God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The one thing to rely upon is God's favor. Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him. In Him lies your life's purpose, and in Him is hidden the rest of your soul.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The truth is that man is one individual with two aspects, just like one line with two ends. If you look at the ends, it is two. If you look at the line, it is one. One end of the line is limited, the other end of the line is unlimited. One end is man, the other end is God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
When I open my eyes to the outer world I feel myself as a drop in the sea. But when I close my eyes and look within, I see the whole universe as a bubble raised in the ocean of my heart.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
What science cannot declare, art can suggest what art suggests silently, poetry speaks aloud but what poetry fails to explain in words, music can express. Whoever knows the mystery of vibrations indeed knows all things.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy, and for the one who has learned this, love fulfills the purpose of religion, ethics, and philosophy, and the lover is raised above all diversities of faiths and beliefs.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The purpose of creation is beauty. Nature in all its various aspects develops towards beauty, and therefore it is plain that the purpose of life is to evolve towards beauty.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Life is a symphony, and the action of every person in this life is the playing of his particular part in the music.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Belief and disbelief have divided humankind into so many sects, blinding its eyes to the vision of the Oneness of all Life.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

We are always searching for God afar off, when all the while He is nearer to us than our own soul.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The highest and greatest goal that every soul has to reach is God. As everything needs renunciation, that highest goal needs the highest renunciation.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Have you known what it is to give your meal to another and to go without yourself? It gives a happiness that no dinner eaten by yourself can give. Have you known what it is to give your coat to another and do without it yourself? It gives a joy that the satisfaction of your own wants cannot give you.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Your heart is not living intil it has experienced pain... the pain of love breaks open the heart, even if it is as hard as a rock.
