THE REAL BOOK OF GOD IS IN THE
HEART OF HUMANITY; WHEN IT IS FROZEN WITH BITTERNESS OR HATRED, THE DOORS OF THE SHRINE
ARE CLOSED; THE LIGHT IS HIDDEN.-- Hazrat
Inayat Khan
Commentary by --
Hazrat Samuel L.
Lewis:
This can be perceived in three ways:
- Physically it interferes with the free passage of blood through the veins and
tubes and so produces various diseases -- arthritis, rheumatism, angina and all forms of
sluggishness.
- Mentally it inhibits the passage of thought vibrations into the nerves, tends to
sarcasm and bitterness in speech, and gross selfishness in outlooks upon life.
- Spiritually it kills all desire for love, growth and expansion. The person
recognizes no love or kindness either in oneself or another, and without necessarily
giving way to hate, leaves no room for the expression of spirit. So this man or
woman stands in his or her own light, and there is a tightening up of all tendencies and
functions -- bringing decay and death, due to the absences of life. Even cancer and other
such diseases can destroy the body because there is no room for the higher aspects of life
and no protection against evil influences from within or without.
