“The Sufi sees the truth in every religion.
If invited to offer prayers in a Christian church, the Sufi is ready to do so.
The Sufi will go the synagogue and pray as the Jews do;
will offer Salat with Muslims; and in the Hindu temple worships the same God.
Yet the Sufi’s true temple, the true mosque, is the human heart,
in which the divine Beloved lives.
Sufism is a religion if one wants to learn religion from it;
it is a philosophy if one wants to learn wisdom from it;
it is mysticism if one wants to be guided by it in the unfoldment of the soul;
and yet it is beyond all these things.
It is the light of life which is the sustenance of every soul.
It is the Message of Love, Harmony, and Beauty.”
- Hazrat Inayat Khan
