The Soul Of All Is

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.

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.

He Is Thoughtful Whose Mind Is Directed By His Will, Whose Mind Fulfills His Intentions, Whose Mind Is Under The Control Of His Intention... It Is Not Till A Person Has Gained Mastery Over His Mind, Till He Is Above This Activity, That He Is A Ruling Power, A True Person.

Stand Through Life Firm As A Rock In The Sea, Undisturbed And Unmoved By Its Ever-rising Waves

A Person Does Not Hear Sound Only Through The Ears; He Hears Sound Through Every Pore Of His Body. It Permeates The Entire Being.
