Answers Quote by Hazrat Inayat Khan

“The whole of life is as music and in order to study life we must study it as music. It is not only study, it is also practice which makes man perfect. If someone tells me that a certain person is miserable or wretched or distressed, my answer will be that he is out of tune.” quote by Hazrat Inayat Khan
