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 KhanMusic is the language of the soul; and for two people of different nations or races to unite, there is no better means than music
Hazrat Inayat KhanBy our trust in the divine beauty in every person we develop that beauty in ourselves.
Hazrat Inayat KhanBy love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of life into a single vision of divine glory.
Hazrat Inayat KhanMusic should be healing, music should uplift the soul, music should inspire; then there is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spirit, of attaining spiritual perfection, only if it is rightly understood.
Hazrat Inayat KhanThe one Spirit of life is given different names, the sacred names. We more easily recognize the Spirit of life by the particular name to which we are accustomed. So far we are right, but the mistake we make, and it is to our loss, is to ignore or deny the same truth because it is given to us in another form and under another name. We limit it. We say the truth existed only in that period when certain teachers came to the world, and that after that it stopped.
