The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The heart is the telescope of the soul, and the eyes are the telescope of the heart. Just as when seeing through spectacles it is the eyes that see, not the spectacles, so when seeing through the heart and through the eyes, what sees is the soul. The eyes have no power to see; the eyes have only the power to help the soul to see. The moment the soul departs the eyes do not see. And so even the heart is a telescope which helps one to perceive and to conceive all that one seeks. Yet at the same time the heart does not see; it is the soul that sees.
