The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Create a Bookmark

He has insight into life and looks at life from a psychological point of view, but at the same time he sees the whole of life as the phenomenon of love, harmony, and beauty, and he recognizes all the different aspects of love, harmony, and beauty. Whatever they be, he weaves them into a form so beautiful that it makes a most wonderful picture. From beginning to end his phraseology is peculiar to himself. He uses words such as wine, the goblet, the beloved, the beautiful countenance of the beloved, the running river, the rising spring, the clear sky, the moon, the sun. Also, in these poems the lover continually reproaches the beloved. Then there is the indifference of the beloved towards all except her lover, so beautifully expressed that it almost seems as if while he was writing these poems the poet's soul was dancing. There is such musical inspiration that every line of his poetry is a strain of music.
