I first believed without any hesitation in the existence of the soul, and then I wondered about the secret of its nature. I persevered and strove in search of the soul, and found at last that I myself was the cover over my soul!

More quotes by 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
It is a very high stage in the path of love when man really learns to love another with a love that asks no return.
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 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
If someone strikes my heart, it does not break, but it bursts, and the flame coming out of it becomes a torch on my path.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Silence is the adornment of the wise, and for the foolish the only dignity possible.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world.
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
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
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
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 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
All ignorance is the lack of love.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Reason is the illusion of reality
Hazrat Inayat Khan
There should be balance in all our actions to be either extreme or lukewarm is equally bad.
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
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
By our trust in the divine beauty in every person we develop that beauty in ourselves.
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
