Soul's Purpose |
sufism of hazrat inayat khan
The first step on the spiritual path is when a soul realizes its outer purpose in life. For it is not every soul in the world which even realizes its outer mission in life.
And the soul who does not realize it, may go on, perhaps, for its whole life and may not realize it even to the end of its life, but the one who cares to realize it, must sooner or later realize it. For the answer to his question is continually being heard in his own heart.
As Sa'di says, "Every soul is created for a certain purpose and the light of that purpose has been kindled in that soul." If there is already a flame lit even before the person was born on Earth, it remains for the person to find out for himself the purpose of his life, although everything outside himself points to that purpose. hazrat inayat khan
