CONFRATERNITY MEDITATION FOR OCTOBER 2

---

Annotation by Cherag Hamid Touchon 

“In order to attain to spiritual knowledge, in order to become conscious of the inner life, a person does not need to learn very much, because here he has to know what he already knows; only he has to discover it himself. For his understanding of spiritual knowledge he does not need the knowledge of anything except himself. He acquires the knowledge of the self which is himself, so near and yet so far. The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan - The Inner Life -  Fulfillment of the Obligations of Human Life

And the answer is that there is nothing in the whole of the universe which is not to be found in man if he only cares to discover it. But if he will not find it out no one will give it to him, for truth is not learned; truth is discovered. 
…No doubt as life is at present there is hardly time for a man to go into the solitude. But that does not mean that man should remain ignorant of the best that is within himself; for compared with this great bliss which is revelation, all other treasures of the earth are nothing; they cannot be compared. Revelation is the magic lamp of Aladdin; once discovered it throws its light to the right and to the left, and all things become clear. The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan – Healing and the Mind World – Mental Purification – Dreams and Revelations

A Fikr Practice (silent breath meditation)

However many breathes seem appropriate

On the OUT breath 
"THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT AND FEAR ARE SCATTERED " 

On the IN breath: 
"BY THY PIERCING GLANCE"
