The WALK of CHRIST - Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan A crown of thorns on His head And a bed of thorns beneath His feet And thorns pricking wherever He resteth The palm of His helping hand Still with unshaking faith And unbroken hope With closed eyes yet with open heart His head in heaven And His feet on earth He walketh gently with all His trust In Him who hath sent Him. REFLECTIONS on the WALK...

The world stands out on every side no wider than the heart is wide. (Edna St. Vincent Millay) Cast aside the 10,000 things, And love only one. Don't go onto another. Engage your lively awareness With this one focus –- One object, one thought, one symbol. Now go inside. Find the centre, The soul, the heart. Right here, In the middle of the feeling, Attend the blossoming— Attention vast as the sky....

Radiance Sutras no.12 There is a current of love energy that flows Between Earth below and Sun above. The central channel of your spine is the river bed.

Attention between eyebrows, let mind be before thought. Let form fill with breath essence to the top of the head, and there shower as light. (Radiance Sutras No.8) Rest the attention easily in the forehead, In the eye that is made of light. Cherish the delicate energies glowing there. Allow intention to enquire upwards, into the Radiant space above the head. The small self enters delicious omnipre...

I breathe in the fire of the sun! This world is alive and I am alive with it! The fire in my heart is a Beltane fire, A fire raging with passion and purpose! Today I honour the sun, And the movement of the Earth. The Earth Mother provides, And the Sky Father encourages New life on the land. This is the moment to remember That even while I practice in solitude I am a living being, Interconnected wi...

As we approach the festivals of Passover and Easter, which both fall during the holy month of Ramadan this year, I’m reflecting on all the powerful and beautiful potential for peace and justice which could be our focus at this time, if we choose. Let us remember our similarities more than our differences. The following prayer, authored by Christian, Jewish and Muslim clergy was used in many places...

Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): This praise is the one thing which surely pierces the mind-mesh.

Thought draws the line of fate.– Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan Commentary by Murshid Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): This is true not only in prayer but in all things. Every exhalation sends something out, and every inhalation draws something in. That which is expelled carries a message, as a flying dove going upward. As soon as another thought is received into the mind, it impedes t...

’Tis a gift to be simple, ’tis a gift to be free, ’Tis a gift to come down where we want to be, And when we have come down to the place just right, We will be in the valley of Love and delight. When the true simplicity is gained, To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed. To turn, to turn, t’will be our delight ’til by turning and turning we come round right. (Traditional Shaker Song) From ‘The Book...
