MYSTICISM WITHOUT DEVOTION IS LIKE UNCOOKED FOOD; IT CAN NEVER BE ASSIMILATED. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:

Mysticism means recognition of God. But how can one recognize God until the heart is awakened? It is only when through the fire of devotion and love that the whole life force is returned to its source in fervor and contemplation that the spiritual life can be experienced.
