Love-Life-Live!

Hosted by The Center for Universal Oneness
Kansas City, Missouri



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Love is the best means of making the heart capable of reflecting the soul-power. Our heart is like a globe over the light of the soul. When the globe is dusty, naturally the light is dim, but when the globe is cleaned, the light increases. Let’s explore this subject together coupled with Sufi spiritual practices to support this teaching.

The Soul is the Spirit of God



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: It appears that the soul is the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of God lives within the shrine of the heart; this shrine can be closed or it can be open. There are some things in life that open it and some that close it. The things that close the heart are those which are contrary to love, tolerance and forgiveness, such as coldness, bitterness and ill-will, and a strong element of duality.

The Virtue of Loving Sacrifice



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Sometimes the sacrifice is great, and sometimes small; sometimes the sacrifice is made first, before achieving success, and sometimes afterwards. As sacrifice is necessary in life, it is made by everyone in some form or other, but when it is made willingly, it turns into a virtue. And happiness comes from the understanding that this is the nature of life, and from not being hurt or troubled by it but knowing that it is by sacrifice, made until the end, that man attains to the desired goal.

Aspects of Healing and Prayer

Dervish Café
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Sufi Path of Awakening (FKA, Fraternity of Light)




In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Prayer is in reality the contemplation of God's presence, who is the power and origin of the whole creation; and it is considering oneself as nothing before God, and placing the wish which stands before one's personality before the Almighty. Therefore naturally the result is incomparably greater.

The Responsive Heart, Rasul

Dervish Café
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Sufi Path of Awakening (FKA, Fraternity of Light)




In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The sign of Rasul is the crescent, which represents a responsive heart. People call them Masters, but they are in reality pupils; for, in point of fact, no one in the world is a Master save God. Our privilege is to become a greater pupil. Therefore, none of the Great Ones have called themselves Masters, nor have they considered themselves to be so. What they have known in their lives is the privilege of opening their hearts wider and wider to reflect the light of the Master, who is God alone.

The Path of Attainment: Light and Life!



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: For you must ever bear in mind that the light and the life that goes out from you to the object are as important as that light which comes to you from the object. Therein lies the great mystery of the trinity in all things: the knower, the thing to be known, and the power, light, and knowledge which connects them.

Living Joy! Reconciling Distinctions and Differences

West Coast Dervish Café
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Sufi Path of Awakening (FKA, Fraternity of Light)




In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The purpose of our life on earth is to look at all the distinctions and differences without being overwhelmed by them, as this may bring us down. We should go on, rising above them all, and at the same time experiencing them all.

Awakening the Soul

Hosted by The Center for Universal Oneness
Kansas City, Missouri USA



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan:
For the soul to be born again means that it is awakened after having come on earth; and entering the kingdom of heaven means entering this world in which we are now standing, the same kingdom which turns into heaven as soon as the point of view has changed.

Let us explore how the point of view can be changed!

Orientation of Consciousness and the Nature of Spirituality

Dervish Coffee
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Sufi Path of Awakening (FKA, Fraternity of Light)



In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: To be spiritual means to be conscious of spirit, just as a material person means a person who is conscious of matter. So it is not religion, orthodoxy, outer forms, or a certain kind of life which means spiritual life: it is to be conscious of the spirit that makes one spiritual.

Together let us look deeper into our consciousness of the spirit!

Vibration of the Elements
Sunday, September 7, 2025

Dervish Coffee
Hosted by Pir Moinuddin Clarke
Sufi Path of Awakening




In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: In Mantra Yoga a person comes in touch with the mysticism of sound when they begin to see and understand; they begin to see that they gain power by sound, that in every vowel, word, and composition, a certain effect or element is hidden, because life and the whole of manifestation is the outcome of what may be called vibrations. 

We will explore the teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan on this subject accompanied by the practice of elemental sounds, colors, and sacred words inspired through Murshid Hidayat Inayat-Khan.

Lake of the Ozarks Sufi Camp
Hosted by the Shining Heart Community,
Sufi Ruhaniat Mureeds and Friends



Day 1, October 11, 2025
When the world is evolving from imperfection towards perfection, it needs all love and sympathy. Great tenderness and watchfulness is required of each one of us. The heart of every person, both good and bad, is the abode of God, and care should be taken never to wound anybody by word or act.

When the light of love has been lit the heart becomes transparent, so that the intelligence of the soul can see through it, but until the heart is kindled by the flame of love the intelligence, which is constantly yearning to experience life on the surface, is groping in the dark.

Day 3, October 13, 2025
The secret of happiness is hidden under the veil of spiritual knowledge. And spiritual knowledge is nothing but this: that there is a constant longing in our heart to have something of its origin, to experience something of its original state, the state of peace and joy which has been disturbed, and yet is sought after throughout its whole life . . .
