Aspects of Sufi Viewpoints

Gratitude awakens in our heart with the sense of appreciation, and where there is no appreciation, there cannot be satisfaction. Where there is no satisfaction, there cannot be self-trust. Where there is a lack of self-trust, we only become a burden to ourselves and to others.

Hazrat Inayat Khan, in his seventeen years of work in the West (from 1910 until 1927) has travelled extensely, in Europe, in Russia and the United States, and he has left us a widespread wisdom which covers all aspects of human life on this earth.

Here the reflections throw their light upon a certain aspect, and, dear friends, if you wish to follow them every day, you will certainly discover a golden thread which links one sentence to the other; and there might appear, before your inner perception, something which every individual, in his or her own way, could discover something like 'the map of my own life'...

Heartily
