Hazrat Inayat Khan
Music is the basis of the whole creation. In reality the whole of creation is music, and what we call music is simply a miniature of the original music, which is creation itself, expressed in tone and rhythm.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
The peace for which every soul strives and which is the true nature of God and the utmost goal of a man is but the outcome of harmony.
