Reflections V - I - 120

Aspects of Sufi Viewpoints

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

The purpose of life is like a lamp illuminating the path of destiny, and when we concentrate upon that purpose the light in the lamp shines brightly upon the path, but when we disregard our destination the light fades away, and we miss our life's vocation.

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
