The Religion of the Heart
There are three ways of seeking God in the human heart.
1. The first way is to recognize the divine in every person and to be careful of every person with whom we come in contact, in our thought, speech and action.
2. The next way of practicing this religion is to think of the feeling of the person who is not at the moment before us. One feels for a person who is present, but often neglects to feel for someone who is out of sight. One speaks well of someone to his face, but if one speaks well of someone when he is absent, that is greater.
3. And the third way of realizing the Sufi principle is to recognize in one?s feeling the feeling of God; to realize every impulse that rises in one?s heart as a direction of God; realizing that love is a divine spark in one?s heart as a direction from God; realizing that love is a divine spark in one?s heart, to blow that spark until the flame may rise to illuminate the path of one?s life.
