TO BE REALLY SORRY FOR ONE'S ERRORS IS LIKE OPENING THE DOORS OF HEAVEN.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
So long as one is unrepentant, thought-marks and thought-shadows mar the mind and prevent beauty from making its appearance. Repentance not only removes these marks and shadows, but does the greatest thing possible: it lays the false self low. Thus the poor in spirit are blessed, those devoid of ego attain the gates of Heaven, and only when the mind realizes its possessions can the heart-faculties express themselves in full.
