Love is the merchandise which all the world demands; if you store it in your heart, every soul will become your customer.
Hazrat Inayat KhanLove is the Divine Mother's arms; when those arms are spread, every Soul falls Into them.
Hazrat Inayat KhanThere should be balance in all our actions; to be either extreme or lukewarm is equally bad.
Hazrat Inayat KhanIn Sufi terms the crushing of the ego is called Nafs Kushi. And how do we crush it? We crush it by sometimes taking ourselves to task. When the self says, 'O no, I must not be treated like this,' then we say, 'What does it matter?' When the self says, 'He ought to have done this, she ought to have said that,' we say, 'What does it matter, either this way or that way? Every person is what he is; you cannot change him, but you can change yourself.' That is the crushing. ... It is only in this way that we can crush our ego.
