Image
The wise man should keep the balance between love and power he should keep the love in his nature ever increasing and expanding, and at the same time strengthen the will so that the heart may not easily be broken.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
Music, the word we use in our everyday language, is nothing less than the picture of our Beloved. It is because music is the picture of our Beloved that we love music.

Spiritual progress is the changing of the point of view.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
People in the world wish to make things rigid, things which are of the finest nature which words cannot explain. When a person describes the hereafter, it is just like wanting to weigh the soul or photograph the spirit. I personally think that you must be able to realize yourself what the hereafter is. You must not depend upon my words.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
He who sincerely seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose. As he concentrates on that search a light begins to clear his confusion, call it revelation, call it inspiration, call it what you will. It is mistrust that misleads. Sincerity leads straight to the goal.

Image
If someone strikes my heart, it does not break, but it bursts, and the flame coming out of it becomes a torch on my path.

Reason is the illusion of reality
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
He who has spent has used he who has collected has lost but he who has given has saved his treasure forever.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. Every man can judge that for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. Happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful. Such an act becomes a virtue or goodness.

In the eyes of a seer, every leaf of a tree is a page of the Holy Book and contains divine revelation.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.

With love, even the rocks will open.

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.

All names and forms are the garbs and covers under which the one life is hidden.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The heart becomes wide by forgetting self, but narrow by thinking of the self and pitying one's self. To gain a wide and broad heart you must have something before you to look upon, and to rest your intelligence upon - and that something is the God-ideal.
