More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
Moth: I gave you my life. Flame: I allowed you to kiss me.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Every living being on earth loves life above all else. The smallest insect, whose life lasts only an instant, tries to escape from any danger in order to live a moment longer. And the desire to live is most developed in man.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The bringers of joy have always been the children of sorrow.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan

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
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
Music is the language of the soul and for two people of different nations or races to unite, there is no better means than music
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination.
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
My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Love is the merchandise which all the world demands if you store it in your heart, every soul will become your customer.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
There are two aspects of individual harmony: the harmony between body and soul, and the harmony between individuals. All the tragedy in the world, in the individual and in the multitude, comes from lack of harmony. And harmony is the best given by producing harmony in one's own life.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Failure in life does not matter the greatest misfortune is standing still.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
When one looks at the ocean, they can only see that part of it which comes within their range of vision so it is with the truth.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
All names and forms are the garbs and covers under which the one life is hidden.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.
