The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

As the surface of the heart is known by the imagination and thought, so the depth of the mind, which is the heart, is known by feeling.

  • The difference between thought and imagination is that imagination is an automatic working of the mind. If the mind is fine there is a fine imagination; if the mind is gross there is a gross imagination; if there is a beautiful mentality, the imagination is beautiful.
  • Thought is also imagination, but imagination held, controlled, and directed by will. Therefore when we say: "He is a thoughtful person", it means that this person does not think, speak, or act on impulse, but behind everything he does there is will-power which controls and directs the action of his mind.
