Love comes....

Love comes to you of its own accord, 

and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school. 

~ Mevlana Rumi

The Heart of Unity...

The 124 000 Prophets who have streamed from the Heart of Unity are the one light of the one religion of the one worship of the one God by the one humanity in the one creation. The dazzling diversity that blossoms within Divine Unity, never disturbing this Unity, always clearly expresses oneness. There is only one.

The gift of silence

When the lips are closed,

then the heart begins to speak;

when the heart is silent,

then the soul blazes up,

bursting into flame,

and this illuminates the whole of life.

--Hazrat Inayat Khan--

An old Sufi tradition advises us to speak 

only after our words have managed 

to pass through four gates. 

At the first gate, we ask ourselves, 

"Are these words true?" 

If so, we let them pass on; if not, back they go. 

At the second gate we ask; "Are they necessary?" 

At the third gate we ask; "Are they beneficial?" 

and at the fourth gate, we ask, "Are they kind?" 

If the answer to any of these is no, 

then what you are about to say should be left unsaid.
