More quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan

By love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of life into a single vision of divine glory.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
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
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

Hazrat Inayat Khan
Things of heaven cannot be obtained by perseverance they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith. We cannot pay for it in any form, in any way, by our goodness, by our piety, by our great qualities, merits, or virtues nothing. It is a gift, and all we can do is receive it.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan
As long as in love there is you and me, love is not fully kindled.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The lover's pleasure is in the pleasure of the beloved. The lover is satisfied when the beloved is fed. The lover is vain when the beloved is adorned.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.
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
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
By our trust in the divine beauty in every person we develop that beauty in ourselves.
