More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Self-pity is the worst poverty. When a person says, 'I am...' with pity, before he has said anything more he has diminished himself to half of what he is and what is said further, diminishes him totally nothing more of him is left afterwards.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Sufism is not a religion or a philosophy, it is neither deism nor atheism, nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism, being free from the usual religious sectarianism. If ever it could be called a religion, it would only be as a religion of love, harmony, and beauty.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
To be really sorry for one's errors is like opening the door of Heaven.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Music should be healing. Music should uplift the soul. Music should inspire.
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
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
To be resigned means to find satisfaction in self-denial (Self-denial is the denial of one's lower self).
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The existence of illness in the body may no doubt be called a shadow of the true illness which is held by man in his mind.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I have found in every word a certain musical value, a melody in every thought, harmony in every feeling, and I have tried to interpret the same things with clear and simple words to those who used to listen to my music.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Many say that life entered the human body by the help of music, but the truth is that life itself is music.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The happiness of this world is something we cannot keep it is just like the horizon - the nearer you go, the farther it goes. As soon as you get it, you see it is not the thing you wanted.
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
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
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 man who tries to prove his belief superior to the faith of another, does not know the meaning of religion.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
... The wise in all ages... have tried to learn one thing only, and that was resignation to the Will of God. By doing this, they have reached a stage at which they could see from God's point of view.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
How can you be that which you possess? You cannot be the horse and rider at the same time. Herein lies the secret of mortality and immortality.
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 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
Divine sound is the cause of all manifestation. The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe.
