WORDS ARE BUT SHELLS OF THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
For they are conventions which guise thoughts and feelings. Of themselves they are nothing but social arrangements of letters or symbols. It is the thought-force in the word which makes it a living thing. This holds true for things other than words but it is most
evident in words which, without that inner essence, are utterly dead.
