The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The soul is a current. We may call it an electric current, yet one unlike the electric current we know on this physical plane, different from it in its power and phenomena; a current which runs more speedily than anything we know; a current which is beyond time and space; a current which runs through all the planes of life. If manifestation is the Breath of God, according to the conception of the Yogi, there is one Breath and there are many breaths. The one, or central, Breath is called by Yogis Prana, and all other breaths which have a certain part to play in the mechanism of the human body are lesser breaths; and again Prana and all other breaths when put together make one Breath, which man calls life. Souls therefore are different breaths of God. This idea may be pictured as a tree which has a stem and various branches; each branch in its place representing the stem.
