Love is the Healing Energy...

Love itself is the healing power and the remedy for all pain.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

There is no greater power than love. All strength comes with the awakening of
love in the heart. ... If there is any protecting influence in the world, it is
no other than love. In all aspects of life, wherever we find protection, its
motive is always love, and no one can have trust in any protection, however
great, except the protection that love offers. If a giant were to frighten a
child, the child would say, 'I will tell my mother.' The strength and power of
any man is too small in comparison with love's protection which the mother
affords her child. Love can heal better than anything in the world.

Behind all this world of various names and forms there is one life, there is one
spirit. This spirit which is the soul of all beings is attracted towards unity,
and it is the absence of this spirit which keeps the world unhappy. To a person
who has just had some unpleasantness with his brother or sister, his food is
tasteless, the night without sleep, the heart restless, the soul under a cloud.
This shows that we do not necessarily live on food; our soul lives on love, the
love that we receive and the love that we give. The absence of this is our
unhappiness, and the presence of it is all we need.

True life cannot be ours until unity is achieved. It is the work of religion to
promote the spirit of unity, in the knowledge and love of God to whom all
devotion belongs. Man often seeks for psychic, occult, and magnetic powers. This
is not the purpose of religion; these developments come of themselves. Where
there is life and love, there is magnetism; love itself is the healing power and
the remedy for all pain.

The dark clouds brought romance between Thee, my Beloved, and me.
