      A translation of Surat Mullar by Harunnisa Khanim Maula Bakhsh:

Without the name of Rama no comfort can come. Without a guru, no wisdom can be attained. Whoever pays full attention to the guru, is always blessed with the darshan of God, Who draws all unto Himself.

That one who opens the door of his heart, he is the one who attains the darshan of Rama. Never leave the repetition of Rama's name. Without mentioning the name, remembrance is not kept up. The need for remembrance lies upon everybody; therefore, hold on to this attention every day.

In 1909, Hazrat Inayat Khan made a series of musical recordings in India. In 1994, a CD version of the recordings was produced by EMI. (EMI CD NF 1 50129/30 Inayat Khan, The Complete Recordings of 1909).
