The former musician, Hazrat Inayat Khan gave up the practise of music "to tune souls instead of instruments, to harmonize people instead of notes ... Music, the word we use in our everyday language, is nothing less than the picture of our Beloved ... It is because music is the picture of our Beloved that we love music."
Spirit's gift of freedom comes to us as a conscious rhapsody of being chosen and choosing. We are journeyed through life by mysterious Spirit that will not let us be till we grasp our freedom, with fear and fascination, till we say yes or no. This is the glory of being human: experiencing being chosen to decide, and deciding, again and again, endlessly. This is the conscious rhapsody of our lives.
~ from OUR UNIVERSAL SPIRIT JOURNEY by John P. Cock
To speak the truth through our words and through our
lives is the obligation that authenticates spirituality
in us humans. Spirituality is mysterious, but this
we do know: spirituality is the way wherein we will
experience vitality, truth, and transformation.
