The Bringers Of Joy Have Always Been

It Is The Peaceful One Who Is Observant. It Is Peace That Gives Him The Power To Observe Keenly. It Is The Peaceful One, Therefore, Who Can Conceive, For Peace Helps Him To Conceive. It Is The Peaceful Who Can Contemplate; One Who Has No Peace Cannot Contemplate Properly. Therefore, All Things Pertaining To Spiritual Progress In Life Depend Upon Peace.

His Constant Fight Is With The Nafs (self-interest), The Root Of All Disharmony And The Only Enemy Of Man. By Crushing This Enemy Man Gains Mastery Over Himself; This Wins For Him Mastery Over The Whole Universe, Because The Wall Standing Between The Self And The Almighty Has Been Broken Down. Gentleness, Mildness, Respect, Humility, Modesty, Self-denial, Conscientiousness, Tolerance And Forgiveness Are Considered By The Sufi As The Attributes Which Produce Harmony Within One's Own Soul As Well As Within That Of Another.

What Makes Us Feel Drawn To Music Is That Our Whole Being Is Music: Our Mind And Body, The Nature In Which We Live, The Nature Which Has Made Us, All That Is Beneath And Around Us, It Is All Music.

He Who Has Spent Has Used; He Who Has Collected Has Lost; But He Who Has Given Has Saved His Treasure Forever.

By Our Trust In The Divine Beauty In Every Person We Develop That Beauty In Ourselves.
