Excerpt by Hazrat Inayat Khan:
My Blessed Mureeds,
I would like to speak a few words on the subject of unlearning. It is always difficult for some mureeds who have once heard from me the necessity of unlearning in the spiritual path. Unlearning is a process by which one rises above what one has learned. It does not mean forgetting what one has learned, it only means rising above what one has learned. What one learns in life is most useful after having attained spiritual realization, in order to express it. But it can only be a hindrance in progression in the spiritual path if one does not know how to unlearn. What does learning mean? Learning means fixing ideas and making them material. When an idea is fixed in mind, it becomes tangible; that knowledge becomes a kind of veil for any other knowledge that can illuminate the path through life.
Sometimes a person thinks "Why must I repeat a word which is a foreign word, which is a strange word to me? If the word suggests something, why must I not use a word which is in my language, which comes easy for me to repeat?" Now those who bring up that argument have also a reason in bringing it. They are right in saying it. If only they could see from the other point of view also. And they could only see if they would try to see. That is what is called unlearning. In the first place, the great linguists of the day have found that the ancient languages still exist have some psychological, mystical power in their words.
Even to such an extent that if you were to study the words of the zikar, every single word has a certain action on the physical mechanism, on intuitive centers.... God Bless You.

The Sufi In The World
Elemental Breaths and the Five Archangels
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The mechanism of the body is dependent in its work upon five different aspects of breath, and these aspects are the five different directions of breath. In the Qur'an, and also in the Hebrew scriptures, these five breaths are known as the five angels.

Inner Light: Silence & Breath
The Shaghal Breath
Silence in modesty speaks louder than bold words. The firecracker cries aloud, "I am the light," and is extinguished in a moment; the diamond, shining constantly, never says a word about its light. – Hazrat Inayat Khan
The Shaghal Breath Practice is a deep, inner, esoteric breath practice.
