An Invocation by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan
We invoke the One Whose Body is the cosmos of the galaxies and our own bodies, Whose Mind courses through our thinking, And Whose Ecstasy arouses our acts of glorification; Whose Personality is customized as our personalities, Whose Presence is always there, Whose Consciousness is focalized as our consciousness, And Whose Reality is beyond our reach.
