Clearing the Dust, Polishing the Lamp, Part 3
February 12, 2022
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The heart of person is like a globe over the light of the soul. When the globe is dusty, naturally the light is dim. When it is cleaned, the light increases. In fact, the light is always the same. It is the fault of the globe when it is not clear. As every light needs fuel, so does the Light, which is ours, which is our self, needs fuel also. We learn in Sufism that mysticism which teaches us how to collect the fuel.

Clearing the Dust, Polishing the Lamp, Part 6
May 28, 2022
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Breath, to a Sufi, is a bridge between oneself and God; it is a rope, hanging down to earth, attached to the heavens. The Sufi climbs up this rope by the help of breath. Regular and rhythmic breathing gives health to body and mind both. Inspiration comes from above, but as a light. It is the work of the mind to receive it. If the mind is not ready to receive it, the inspiration will come but will not be realized.

Breath, Endurance, Protection, Happiness
July 21, 2022
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan:The Qasab Breath gives control of breath and so control of thoughts, feelings, emotions, passions and affairs. Qasab develops volume; purifies and makes the breath rhythmic, purifies the breathing; tubes, veins, nerves and avoids contagious disease. Qasab gives freedom of inhaling and exhaling. The breath feels light and pure, and give rise to feelings of happiness.

Transforming Grief Towared Joy
September 11, 2022
Dervish Café
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Fraternity of Light
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The psychology of life is such that every soul expresses what it is impressed with. If a soul is impressed with grief in its surroundings, it will express grief, sorrow, disappointment in action, thought, speech and atmosphere. If a soul is experiencing joy, it will express joy. That shows that the law of life is always action and inaction.

Bless All That We Receive In Thankfulness
November 13, 2022
Dervish Café
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Fraternity of Light Sufi Order
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: We can never be too thankful. If we can appreciate the privileges of life there are endless gifts from above which we never think about and we never value. If we think of them thankfully, naturally a tenderness is felt; and it is that tenderness which is worth having. A pure, thankful, useful life, a constant thought of appreciating things and avoiding blaming things and people and conditions, all these help to keep away the germ of insanity..

In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: An ordinary person will only take the phrase of the Zikar as words that belongs to a certain language. But such words have belonged to mystics who have gathered them together just like a chemist would collect herbs and drugs and different things together in order to use them for medicine.
