The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

We have not adequate words to explain what the jinn is like, or what the world of the jinn is; but what little can be said is that it is a world of music, art, poetry; a world of intelligence, cheer fullness and joy; a world of thought, imagination and sentiment; a world that a poet would long for and a musician would crave to dwell in. The life of the jinn is an ideal life for a thinker; a life which is free from all illness, pure from all bitterness of human nature, free to move about through space without any hindrance. This sphere is a most joyful place, where the sun of intelligence shines, where the trouble of life and death is not so serious, life not so short as on the earth. If there is any paradise it is the world of the jinn. Hindus have called it Indra-loka, and picture Gandharvas and Upsaras to be there; it is a paradise, of which every prophet has spoken to his followers in the way in which they could understand it.
