The person who is in tune with the Universe becomes like a radio receiver, through which the voice of the Universe is transmitted.
Hazrat Inayat KhanThe mystery of sound is mysticism; the harmony of life is religion. The knowledge of vibrations is metaphysics, the analysis of atoms is science, and their harmonious grouping is art. The rhythm of form is poetry, and the rhythm of sound is music. This shows that music is the art of arts and the science of allsciences; and it contains the fountain of all knowledge within itself.
Hazrat Inayat KhanSilence is the adornment of the wise, and for the foolish the only dignity possible.
Hazrat Inayat KhanTo attain peace, what one has to do is to seek that rhythm which is in the depth of our being.
Hazrat Inayat KhanThe 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 KhanIf there is such a thing as saintly renunciation, it is renouncing small gains for better gains; not for no gains, but seeing with open eyes what is better and what is inferior. Even if the choice has to lie between two momentary gains, one of these would always be found to be more real and lasting; that is the one that should be followed for the time.
