More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
The whole of life is as music and in order to study life we must study it as music. It is not only study, it is also practice which makes man perfect. If someone tells me that a certain person is miserable or wretched or distressed, my answer will be that he is out of tune.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Atmosphere is a silent music. It has its effect upon the listener, exciting or peaceful, whatever it may be.
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
Reason is the illusion of reality
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
The greatest fault of the day is the absence of stillness.
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
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The only way to live in the midst of inharmonious influences is to strengthen the will power and endure all things, yet keeping fineness of character and nobility of manner together with an everlasting heart full of love.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The voice is not only indicative of man's character, but it is the expression of his spirit. Other sounds can be louder than the voice, but no sound can be more living.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
We, the human beings in this world, if there is a spark of goodness or kindness in our hearts, avoid judging people. We prefer forgiving to judging.
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
There is nothing better than music as a means for upliftment of the soul.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Every man's path is for himself let him accomplish his own desires that he may thus be able to rise above them to the eternal goal.
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
Consciously or unconsciously, every being is capable of healing himself or others.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.
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
People often ask me questions that I cannot very well answer in words, and it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
