LOVE DEVELOPS INTO HARMONY, AND OF HARMONY IS BORN BEAUTY.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
If there were an opposite condition to Love, it would not be hate, but chaos. Hate is a force derived from love, concentrated through nufs. Chaos, on the other hand, is the opposite of all love. Allah, through Ishk, destroyed and destroys chaos, and the first sign of the absence of chaos is the music of life expressed in rhythms and
harmonies. This is the cause of all vibrations, out of which all worlds were made.
Beauty is the natural result of harmony in that it uplifts the soul. The harmonies, melodies and rhythms of vibrations and forms are intoxicating. One can see in an instant the inspiration of an artist -- that one picture does not inspire and another does inspire the witness. Beauty in form, be it in nature or from the hands of
man, is always compelling and uplifting.
