Sound, Stillness and Space 101. “The clouds of emotion obscure the clear sight of the soul.” Hazrat Inayat Khan ✨ “Every emotion arises from the intensity of the activity of vibrations, which, when active in different directions, produce different emotions, the main cause of every emotion being activity alone. Every vibration, while active, raises the consciousness to the outermost surface, and the mist caused by this activity collects clouds which we call emotions. The clouds of emotion obscure the clear sight of the soul. Therefore, passion is called blind. The excess of the activity of vibrations not only blinds but weakens the will, and a weak will enfeebles the mind and body.”
