Reflections II - 179

Aspects of Sufi Viewpoints

by Hidayat I. Khan - see book 'Geistige Freiheit' - click here

The Jelal breath is expressive and creative of vital energy, whereas the Jemal breath is receptive and responsive. The Kemal breath is appropriate in meditation, wherein there is neither a Jelal nor a Jemal state of mind but one's thoughts are directed to an abstract concept on a spiritual level of consciousness.

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
