A Clear Message

One of the lessons I've learned about Spirituality by pondering the Writings represented in the compilation Reality is that understanding the Scriptures doesn't depend on high marks in intellectual subjects.

People who have a relatively pure heart are in the "position" to understand the Words of the Prophets and Messengers of God.

Today's quote from Reality is an example and also a "definition" of the Pure Heart we all need...

"O YE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MINDS TO KNOW AND EARS TO HEAR!

"The first call of the Beloved is this: O mystic nightingale! Abide not but in the rose-garden of the spirit. O messenger of the Solomon of love! Seek thou no shelter except in the Sheba of the well-beloved, and O immortal phoenix! dwell not save on the mount of faithfulness. Therein is thy habitation, if on the wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to attain thy goal."
