A Teaching by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Things Necessary for a Mureed
Presented by Murshid Nuria
February 2, 2019
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: My Mureeds, It is not necessary to explain in words the joy that I feel in coming and seeing you again. For in the initiation we are so linked together that distance in reality is not a distance. Nevertheless, in this physical plane to meet together is also necessary. And now I wish to explain how many things are necessary for a mureed.

The God-Ideal
Presented by Murshida Nuria
March 9, 2019
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: God and the God-Ideal may be explained as the sun and the light. Just as there come times when the sun becomes covered by clouds – if the cloud for a moment covers the sun, that does not mean that the sun is lost to you.

Lecture: Tolerance, Forgiviness, Happiness (1:09:00)
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The mureeds must take care that their bodies are strong, healthy, vigorous, and ready to work, that their minds are balanced, sound and clear, then they can have happiness and give it to those around them. If in this time of great distress, every mureed would realize that they are a volunteer in an army, working for the peace of souls, a great work would be done.

The Privilege of Being Human:
Overlooking, Graciousness. Conciliation, Consideration
There are tendencies which manifests and grow in a person who is advancing spiritually. Hazrat Inayat Khan refers to tendancies such as: Overlooking/Darquza, Graciousness/Khulq, Conciliation/Ittifaq, and Consideration/Murawwat.
View/Download Outline of Practices and Study Guide
Day 1 – Overlooking/Darquza
Overlooking may be called in other words rising beyond things: one has to rise in order to
overlook; the one who stands beneath life could not overlook, even if he wanted. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)
Play Audio (01:05:28)
Day 2 – Graciousness/Khulq
No sooner does the soul touch the inner kingdom, which is
the divine kingdom, than the true nobility of the soul becomes manifest in the form of
graciousness.
Play Audio (01:24:59)
Day 3 – Conciliation/Ittifaq
Conciliation is not only the moral of the Sufi, but it is the sign of the Sufi. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)
Play Audio (01:06:27)
Day 4 – Consideration/Murawwat
Those who practice this virtue do not necessarily have that respect only for someone who has a high position or who has much piety; when they develop this quality it manifests itself in their dealings with all people. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)

Nature's Religion
Presented by Murshid Nuria
June 15, 2019
If we follow the natural religion – that divine impulse that is in every heart – then we
shall be living the true religion.
Religion may begin in the East or the West, in the South or the North, yet it will always
end in many religions. The more we ponder upon how all can have come from one, the
plainer becomes the fact that all are expressions of one religion. And this religion is
nature's religion.

A Teaching by Hazrat Inayat Khan
The Alchemy of Happiness
Presented by Murshid Nuria
July 20, 2019
This is the most illuminating teaching in which Murshid explains how to alchemically transform our lives into true and unconditional happiness
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: Happiness cannot be bought or sold, nor can you give it to a person who has not got it. Happiness is your own being, your own self, that self that is the most precious thing in life. All religions, all philosophical systems, have in different forms taught man how to find it by the religious path or the mystical way; and all the wise ones have in some form or another given a method by which the individual can find that happiness for which the soul is seeking. Sages and mystics have called this process alchemy.

The Smiling Forehead
Presented by Murshid Nuria
August 17, 2019
In this teaching Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan invites us to looking deeply within to uncover our outlooks and judgements while exploring the deep 'mystery' of 'The Smiling Forehead'.
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: It is easy for an ordinary person to say what is good or bad, just or unjust; it is very difficult for a wise man. Everyone, according to his outlook on life, turns things from bad to good and from good to bad, because everyone has his own grade of evolution and he reasons according to that.

The Healing Papers on Magnetism
Presented by Murshid Nuria
September 21, 2019
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The atmosphere that an awakened soul produces lives for centuries in this world, unbroken and unpolluted. The sky takes care of it and preserves it for generations, in order to experience and enjoy this atmosphere produced by the illuminated souls.
Let's explore and glimpse together this aspect of 'healing' and tuning ourselves to the unbroken, unpolluted, living atmosphere of the illuminated souls.

HU Are You? Mysticism–Self Knowledge, Part 2
Presented by Murshid Nuria
October 13, 2019
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: The mind is the surface of that part of our being of which the depths may be called heart. The mind thinks, the heart feels; the mind perceives, the heart reflects; the mind imagines, the heart enjoys.The thoughts of the mind are strengthened by the heart. Yet mind and heart are not two things; they are the two aspects of one thing, the surface and the depths.

HU Are You? Mysticism–Self Knowledge, Part 3
Presented by Murshid Nuria
October 14, 2019
In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan: As long as we remain ignorant of the self, one cannot study human nature properly... The more one understands oneself, the more one finds that everything that is lacking in others is also lacking in oneself. Does a person become less by finding faults in oneself? No, we become greater, for we not only find that all the faults which are in others are also to be found within, but that all the merits of the others are also ourown merits. With our faults and merits, we become more complete; we do not become less.
