More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Instead of lamenting your fate, create your world.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Music should be healing. Music should uplift the soul. Music should inspire.
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
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 purpose of creation is beauty. Nature in all its various aspects develops towards beauty, and therefore it is plain that the purpose of life is to evolve towards beauty.
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
Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy, and for the one who has learned this, love fulfills the purpose of religion, ethics, and philosophy, and the lover is raised above all diversities of faiths and beliefs.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Therefore it is the law of the mystics to see all things, to experience all things, either of heaven or earth, and yet to say little for the souls incapable of understanding the possibility of their reach will ridicule them.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
In love abides all knowledge. It is mankind's love and interest in things that in time reveals their secret.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
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
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.
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.
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
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 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
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
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
What a great thing is understanding! It is priceless. No man can give greater pleasure to his fellow man than by understanding him.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
