AS MAN RISES ABOVE PASSION, SO HE BEGINS TO KNOW WHAT IS LOVE. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:

What is passion? What is love? This is the same force, in the former instance operating in the sphere of plurality, in the latter case in the world of unity or principle. When the Universal Love-Light is caught in the image of self, it is reflected in myriad pieces, each of which the self desires to grasp and keep as its own.

Not recognizing the Supreme Unity and failing to find all its desire in any one of these fragments, the false self flits from false love to false love. This is because it only recognizes falsehood and not truth. Passion is therefore the shadow of love; it is not to be condemned. It is the selfishness, which must be eradicated.
