I come from a perfect source and I am bound for a perfect goal.
The light of the perfect Being is kindled in my soul.
I live, move, and have my being in God and nothing in the world,
of the past or present, has power to touch me if I rise above all.
Prayer by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Dear Friends,
In the following words Hazrat Inayat Khan has emphasized that it is important not to pay too much attention to illness. Of course this doesn’t mean that we don’t go to a physician or that we don’t use medicines, but that we don’t think all the time of the illness. Let us have confidence and trust that we’ll be healthy again. Let us try to think in a positive way and to feel ourselves as a healthy happy person. And let us always remember the basic principle of spiritual healing: “The soul being the divine breath, purifies, revivifies and heals our bodies and our minds!” Let us become more and more conscious of this inspiring principle and be in contact with our souls.
“The mystics have always known and practised in a most perfect way the idea which is generally talked about in its most elementary form – the idea that by repeating to oneself ‘I am well, I am better, I am better’, one becomes better. There are many who do not see any reason in it, but you will see that in time the most materialistic people will come to realize the truth that it is the attitude of mind, the willingness to be cured, the desire to get above one’s illness, the inclination to fight against disorder, which help one to health.
There is a difference between belief and thought. One might say, “I am thinking every day I shall get well, but that does not come to pass”. Yes, thought is one thing, belief is another. When you compare thought with belief, one is automatic, the other is more living. And when a person says: “I am thinking, or, I am practising this every day, but I don’t get any benefit”, it only means that he is practising one thing and believing another.
He is practising ‘I shall be well’, and he is believing ‘I am ill’. It may be his unconscious belief, but there is a belief ‘this will not cure me, I shall continue to be ill; and though he may be repeating a thousand times a day ‘I shall be well, I shall be well’, yet he does not believe it.” Sufi Message Volume IV ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
Let us try to practise these words.
With heartiest greetings from Sattva and Shamsher.
