Photo of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The whole purpose of life is to make God a reality.
      -- Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

Now life is nothing but God, and God's purpose in the creation is to know God's own Self and love God's own Self and express God's own Self. This is the supreme purpose and the essence of purpose: it is the seed of the purpose of every individual entity taking form on any plane.
       -- Murshid Samuel L Lewis
