~ Hazrat Inayat Khan

SUFISM IS NOT OF THE NARROW HEAD; IT BELONGS TO THE OPEN, UNIVERSAL HEART. THE HEART IS THE REAL CHURCH, THE REAL MOSQUE OR TEMPLE, WHICH IS NOT AN ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE EVERY ORGANIZATION IS A THING OF THE MIND IN THE HEAD, THE BRAIN. AND ONCE THIS MIND, THIS HEAD OR BRAIN, TAKES POSSESSION OF THE THING, THE HEART HAS TO LEAVE THAT HOUSE COMPLETELY. THE HOUSE BECOMES TOO NARROW FOR THE HEART. THE HEART NEEDS THE WHOLE OF THE SKY. NOTHING LESS THAN THAT WILL DO.

God, that is beautiful!

The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
So many garish lamps in the dying brain’s lamp shop,
Forget about them.
Concentrate on essence, concentrate on Light.
All people, all possible permutations of good, evil, thought, passion.
The lamps are different,
But the Light is the same.
One matter, one energy, one Light, one Light-mind,
Endlessly emanating all things.
One turning and burning diamond,
One, one, one.
~Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī
“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”
― Rumi
