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.

 

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.
