The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

If you repeat: flower, flower, flower, your mind will be much more impressed than if you only think of the flower. This is why the Sufis repeat the name of God, and do not only think of God. There are Sufis who repeat the ninety-nine names of God. There is the wazifa, the namaz; there are different ways of repeating the name of God. The effect produced is in accordance with the soul and the heart from which the sound comes. If there are four violinists, all of whom have studied for the same length of time, and they all play the same piece of music one after the other, they will each play very differently. Each will play in accordance with his musical temperament, his heart and his soul. Therefore it is very necessary for a musician that his heart and soul should be trained.
