Filled with LOVE
“And now abide three things,
faith, hope and love,
and the greatest of these is love.”
--from a letter to people living in the city of Corinth
As we continue with the quality of love, we turn to a brief prayer by Hazrat Inayat Khan. Following the prayer, a brief introduction of Khan.
“Fill my heart with Love,
that my every teardrop may become a star.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan: In the Western religious experience we seldom encounter the teachings of Sufism. The world continues to be drawn together, allowing us to be aware of our “connectedness” with others. We have more and more opportunities to develop sensitivity or spiritual awareness about the many different religions in our world. Khan started the “Sufi Order in the West”. He grew up in a musical family in the country of India. He learned a great deal from the poets and composers. As he listened he was able to see the vast similarities in the beliefs of humankind. Sufism honors all the world’s major religions and draws from the teachings of their holy books.
