More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Image
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
Image
Have you known what it is to give your meal to another and to go without yourself? It gives a happiness that no dinner eaten by yourself can give. Have you known what it is to give your coat to another and do without it yourself? It gives a joy that the satisfaction of your own wants cannot give you.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Everyone has his own imagination of God. It is best if everyone is left to his own imagination.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
It is through this physical body that the highest and greatest purpose of life is achieved. A person only calls it the physical body in ignorance. Once the knowledge has come...he begins to look upon it as the sacred temple of God.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
He who has spent has used he who has collected has lost but he who has given has saved his treasure forever.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
There is nothing in the world that does not speak to us. Everything and everybody reveals its own nature, character and secrets continuously. The more open our inner senses, the more we understand the voice of everything.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
Death is the tax the soul has to pay for having a name and a form.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
Music should be healing. Music should uplift the soul. Music should inspire.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
He is thoughtful whose mind is directed by his will, whose mind fulfills his intentions, whose mind is under the control of his intention... It is not till a person has gained mastery over his mind, till he is above this activity, that he is a ruling power, a true person.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
One day, music will take its rightful place as the true religion of Mankind.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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
Image
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

What a great thing is understanding! It is priceless. No man can give greater pleasure to his fellow man than by understanding him.

In ancient times the greatest of the prophets were great musicians.
