Tuning the Heart

Dear friends,

Early last century our Murshid, Hazrat Inayat Khan commented,

“Hundreds of wireless messages are passing by us during every hour of the day, but only the instrument that is tuned to the right note can receive them. The discovery of wireless telegraphy has been…a most illuminating example on the physical plane of what is always happening in the spiritual spheres.”

These days our early 21st-century wifi technology, social and news media, video conferencing, etcetera, make this even clearer on the physical plane. As Murshid observed,

“Distance is no longer any obstruction, and just as in the physical world a receiver is necessary, so also in the spiritual world; for the law is universal both in the spiritual realm, the realm of reality, and in the physical world, which is only the shadow of the real one.”

Let us take a moment to reflect on what note(s) we (as instruments and receivers) are tuned to. And, for our health, which “is surely wholeness [and holiness] of body, heart and mind, complete harmony of the whole being,” consider Murshid’s advice below.

“Let us see to it that our hearts and minds are tuned to the higher vibrations, so that only those things that are good, pure, holy and of good report can enter and dwell there. Let us keep out the idle thoughts, the unkind thoughts, the envious thoughts that come knocking at the door of the heart…”
