Mastery lies not merely in stilling the mind, but in directing it towards whatever point we desire, in allowing it to be active as far as we wish, in using it to fulfill our purpose, in causing it to be still when we want to still it. He who has come to this has created his heaven within himself; he has no need to wait for a heaven in the hereafter, for he has produced it within his own mind now.
Hazrat Inayat KhanThe existence of illness in the body may no doubt be called a shadow of the true illness which is held by man in his mind.
Hazrat Inayat KhanTherefore 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 KhanAtmosphere is a silent music. It has its effect upon the listener, exciting or peaceful, whatever it may be.
