~'Shatter Your Ideals on the Rock of Truth'~

Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi master, and founder of Universal Sufism.

His wisdom legacy to us:
  1. There is One God, the Eternal, the Only Being; None exists save He.
  2. There is One Master, the Guiding Spirit of all souls, Who constantly leads all followers toward the Light.
  3. There is One Holy Book, the Sacred Manuscript of Nature, the only Scripture that can enlighten the reader.
  4. There is One Religion, the unswerving progress in the right direction toward the Ideal, which fulfills the life's purpose of every soul.
  5. There is One Law, the Law of Reciprocity, which can be observed by a selfless conscience, together with a sense of awakened justice.
  6. There is one Family, the Human Family, which unites the Children of Earth indiscriminately in the Parenthood of God.
  7. There is one Moral Principle, the Love which springs forth from a willing heart, surrendered in service to God and Humanity, and which blooms in deeds of beneficence.
  8. There is One Object of Praise, the Beauty which uplifts the heart of its worshipper through all aspects from the seen to the unseen.
  9. There is One Truth, the true knowledge of our being, within and without, which is the essence of Wisdom.
  10. There is One Path, the effacement of the limited self in the Unlimited, which raises the mortal to immortality, in which resides all Perfection.
May we all know the One...the One that is I, You, and We.
In communion,
Eka
