Quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
"Among a million believers in God there is scarcely
one who makes God a reality."
"To love is one thing, to understand is another. He
who loves is a devotee, but he who understands is a
friend."
"Spirit can only love spirit; in loving form it
deludes itself."
"Those who have given deep thoughts to the world are
those who have controlled the activity of their
minds."
"Rest of mind is as necessary as rest of body, and
yet we always keep the former in action."
"The truth need not be veiled, for it veils itself
from the eyes of the ignorant."
"You can have all good things - wealth, friends,
kindness, love to give and love to receive - once you
have learned not to be blinded by them, learned to
escape from disappointment, and from repugnance at
the idea that things are not as you want them to be."

The Indian Saint Bama and His Love For Animals
Wed, September 30, 2009 - 10:18 AMThere was a Hindu saint at the turn of the last century who had a powerful and profound love of animals.
One time a dog ran into his hut and stole a piece of bread. Bama, who saw all beings as an expression of God Himself, ran after the dog, crying, "My Lord, please do not leave before I can butter your bread."
He was a mentor to the great saint Swami Vivekananda.
And anecdote about him is even more powerful.
He would allow animals to sit with him at the dinner table. One time he had some prominent guests for dinner. He sat the animals down to dinner at seats, next to everyone. Some of the guests complained.
Bama had such identification with God, that he had enormous power within him. He used his ability to turn all the people's faces into animal faces and all the animal faces into human faces.
Needless to say, the guests ceased to complain.
I guess that is a warning to the ignorant about the kind of power held by those who obey God. -

"It is when man has lost the idea of separateness and feels himself at one with all creation that his eyes are opened and he sees the cause of all things."
"To fall beneath one's ideal is to lose one's share of life."
"The wise of all ages have taught that it is knowledge of the divine Being that is life, and the only reality."
"Each soul's attainment is according to its evolution."

Quotes of Hazrat Inayat Khan

"Self stands as a wall between man and God."
"We start our lives as teachers, and it is very hard for us to learn to become pupils. There are many whose only difficulty in life is that they are teachers already. What we have to learn is pupilship. There is but one Teacher, God Himself."
"It is more important to find out the truth about one's self, than to find out the truth of heaven and hell."
"According to his evolution, man knows the truth; and the more he knows, the more he finds there is to know."
"The man filled with the knowledge of names and forms has no capacity for the knowledge of Truth."
"Man mistakes when he begins to cultivate the heart by wanting to sow the seed himself, instead of leaving the sowing to God."
