Reflections 1 - 84

Character Building

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

In Hindu mythology, ‘Garuda’ is the symbol of sound, suggesting that when riding on the flying bird, which represents the power of the sacred word, we do not hear that which we do not wish to hear, we do not see that which we do not wish to see, and we do not express that which we do not wish to express, because the inner experience of the sacred word can never be expressed.

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
