Music Uplifts the Soul
“Music uplifts the soul to realms above. The ashes glow, the latent fires increase. We listen and are fed with joy and peace.”
Co-Operation is Only Possible When There is no ‘Authority’
“Co-operation is only possible when there is no ‘authority’. You know, that is one of the most dangerous things in the world ‘authority’. One assumes ‘authority’ in the name of an ideology, or in the name of God, or Truth, and an individual, or group of people, who have assumed that ‘authority’, cannot possibly bring about a world order.”
If a Person Claims That He Really Loves Someone
“If a person claims that he really loves someone, evidence is asked from him. And that evidence is the giving away of possessions, the granting of favors. Just as when Mevlana claimed that he loved me, when I came he granted me thousands of favors and protected me. I regard these all as a grace from God.”
Work with Love
“If you work without love, you are working like a slave. When you work with love, you work like an emperor. Your work is your joy, your work is your dance.”
To find God you must Know how to Love
“To find God you must know how to love, not God, but the human beings around you, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Then, when you know how to love them, you will really know what it is to love God. Without loving another, without knowing what it means to be completely in communion with one another, you cannot be in communion with truth.”
