Quote

The one thing to rely upon is God's favor. Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him. In Him lies your life's purpose, and in Him is hidden the rest of your soul.

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
Image
Failure in life does not matter the greatest misfortune is standing still.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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!
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
Joy and sorrow are the light and shade of life without light and shade no picture is clear.

Atmosphere is a silent music. It has its effect upon the listener, exciting or peaceful, whatever it may be.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

When one bell is rung, by the sound of that one bell other bells will also vibrate. So it is with the dancing of the soul...it produces its reaction, and that again, will make other souls dance.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
What you are speaks louder than what you say.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We are always searching for God afar off, when all the while He is nearer to us than our own soul.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
We grown-up people think that we appreciate music, but if we realized the sense that an infant has brought with it of appreciating sound and rhythm, we would never boast of knowing music. The infant is music itself.
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
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
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
Now if I do anything it is to tune souls instead of instruments. To harmonize people instead of notes. If there is anything in my philosophy, it is the law of harmony: that one must put oneself in harmony with oneself and with others.

Silence is the adornment of the wise, and for the foolish the only dignity possible.
