"GOD IS LOVE" -- THREE WORDS WHICH OPEN UP AN UNENDING REALM FOR THE THINKER WHO DESIRES TO PROBE THE DEPTHS OF THE SECRET OF LIFE. ? Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
In this we have three ideas, two of which the mind can partially grasp, the other of which -- although it names -- it grasps not at all. This is "God", who in the form called by the Sufis "Zat", is beyond all predication, but in the aspects of Life and Love, there is predication about Him.
Thus when one says "is", that means that God and the Life are identical, Allah is essence, Allah is Eternal Being; thus "God is". God is and no one else is; God is and nothing else is. Only God is and there is nought else.
But what is God? What is the nature of Life? It is Love. If it were not Love, nothing would hold on to anything else -- neither cell to cell in the physical, nor thought to thought in the mental, nor heart to heart in the spiritual. Without love nothing would adhere to anything else, there would be no things, all would be chaos. And upon this much meditation is needed.
