The feeling of kindness must be kept as long as we wish, whatever obstacle we meet with. When this control is learned, then no sorrow can come near.
Hazrat Inayat Khan • The Mysticism of Sound and Music: The Sufi Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan (Shambhala Dragon Editions)
May I live with an open heart, and may I let people’s joys and sorrows flow through it without taking them as my own. May I hold space for people’s emotions no matter what they are, so that they can move through feeling knowing they’re safe and loved.
