Joy and sorrow are the light and shade of life without light and shade no picture is clear.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The whole of life is as music and in order to study life we must study it as music. It is not only study, it is also practice which makes man perfect. If someone tells me that a certain person is miserable or wretched or distressed, my answer will be that he is out of tune.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

I have seen all souls as my soul, and realized my soul as the soul of all.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

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
The secret of life is balance, and the absence of balance is life's destruction.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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
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
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.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
The happiness of this world is something we cannot keep it is just like the horizon - the nearer you go, the farther it goes. As soon as you get it, you see it is not the thing you wanted.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Image
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.
