More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
The wonderful thing is that the soul already knows to some extent that there is something behind the veil, the veil of perplexity, that there is something to be sought for in the highest spheres of life, that there is some beauty to be seen, that there is Someone to be known who is knowable.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
It is through this physical body that the highest and greatest purpose of life is achieved. A person only calls it the physical body in ignorance. Once the knowledge has come...he begins to look upon it as the sacred temple of God.
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
Now if I do anything it is to tune souls instead of instruments. To harmonize people instead of notes. If there is anything in my philosophy, it is the law of harmony: that one must put oneself in harmony with oneself and with others.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
For the value of everything exists for man only so long as he does not understand it. When he has fully understood, the value is lost, be it the lowest thing or the highest thing.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
Music should be healing, music should uplift the soul, music should inspire then there is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spirit, of attaining spiritual perfection, only if it is rightly understood.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
There should be balance in all our actions to be either extreme or lukewarm is equally bad.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Instead of lamenting your fate, create your world.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
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.
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
Each human personality is like a piece of music, having an individual tone and a rhythm of its own.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
What one really wants is attracted by one, and one is attracted by what one wants.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Love develops into harmony, and of harmony is born beauty.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
By love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of life into a single vision of divine glory.
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I gave up my music because I had received from it all I had to receive. To serve God one must sacrifice the dearest thing, and I sacrificed my music, the dearest thing to me.
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
To be really sorry for one's errors is like opening the door of Heaven.
