Hazrat Inayat Khan on Atmosphere
 The fruit must be of a certain degree of ripeness before its taste becomes sweet. So the soul must be of a certain development before it will handle wisdom with wisdom. The developed soul shows his fragrance in his atmosphere, color, the expression of his countenance, and sweetness of his personality, as a flower spreads its fragrance around, and as a fruit when ripe changes its color and becomes sweet. THE WAY OF ILLUMINATION - THE SUFI
 When a person is all the time occupied doing good to others, there is a constant joy arising; and that joy creates a heavenly atmosphere, creating within him that heaven which is his inner life. This world is so full of thorns, so full of troubles, pains and sorrows, and in this same world he lives; but by the very fact of his trying to remove the thorns from the path of another, although they prick his own hands, he rises and this gives him that inner joy which is his spiritual realization. THE WAY OF ILLUMINATION - FIVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF SPIRITUAL SOULS
 There is no doubt that, as the sight becomes keen, first the colors of different elements working in nature manifest to the view; secondly, the atmosphere that is created around man, which is composed of semi-material atoms also becomes manifest. This is what is called the aura. The different colors of this aura express the meaning, for there is nothing in this world which is without meaning.  THE WAY OF ILLUMINATION - MANIFESTATION
(REGARDING THE AFTERLIFE) What will be the atmosphere of that world? It will be the echo of the same atmosphere which one has created in this. If one has learned while on earth to create joy and happiness for oneself and for others, in the other world that joy and happiness surrounds one; and if one has sown the seeds of poison while on earth the fruits of these one must reap there; that is where one sees justice as the nature of life. THE SOUL WHENCE AND WHITHER - TOWARD THE GOAL
Everyone shows harmony or disharmony according to how open he is to the music of the universe. The more he is open to all that is beautiful and harmonious, the more his life is tuned to that universal harmony, and the more he will show a friendly attitude towards everyone he meets, his very atmosphere will create music around him. THE MYSTICISM OF SOUND AND MUSIC - THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
...every person, from morning till evening, is making invisible forms in space by what he says. He is creating invisible vibrations around him, and so he is producing an atmosphere. Therefore it is that one person may come into the house, and before he speaks you are tired of him, you wish to get rid of him. Before he has said or done anything you are finished with him, you would like him to go away, for in his atmosphere he is creating a sound; a sound is going on which is disagreeable. There is another person with whom you feel sympathy, to whom you feel drawn, whose friendship you value, whose presence you long for; harmony is continually created through him. That is sound too.

 If that is true then it is not only the external signs, but also the inner condition which is audible and visible. Though not visible to the eyes and not audible to the ears, yet it is audible and visible in the soul. We say: 'I feel his vibrations. I feel the person's presence. I feel sympathy, or antipathy towards that person'. There is a feeling, and a person creates a feeling without having said anything or done anything. Therefore a person who is in a wrong vibration, without doing or saying anything wrong, creates the wrong atmosphere, and you find fault with him. It is most amusing and very funny to see how people may come to you with a complaint: 'I have said nothing, I have done nothing, and yet people dislike me and are against me'. That person does not know that it is not because of his saying or doing anything: it is because of his being. 'What you are speaks louder than what you say'. It is life itself which has its tone, its color, its vibration. it speaks aloud. MYSTICISM OF SOUND AND MUSIC - THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SOUND AND COLOR


Even now you will see in the East healers who magnetize water, or food, or the atmosphere. Where lies the secret of this magnetism? It is in their breath. It is the influence of their breath which is in the water or the food. MYSTICISM OF SOUND AND MUSIC - THE HEALING POWER OF MUSIC
 Man's atmosphere explains the condition of his soul. The further we go, so the more our disputes and arguments cease. They fade away until there is no color left in them; and when all the color has gone, the white light comes which is the light of God. MYSTICISM OF SOUND AND MUSIC - APHORISMS
