IT IS THE SOUL'S LIGHT WHICH IS THE NATURAL INTELLIGENCE.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
What is called "Nur" is the Universal Light which touches
every part of the universe. Without this Light there would be
no universe: it is the aspect of Ishk, which we call
Intelligence because it becomes the light of the Mind.
Although Ishk is all light, it is Oneness: in it there is no
Mind although there is "Buddha-citta", the essence of Mind. By
an accommodation in the Supreme the light produces forms, but
these forms are made out of the vibrations of the light-self.
Then the light appears within these forms and enables them to
perceive phenomena.
It is, however, the soul, which sees, whether through an
individual -- be that individual rock, plant, animal, man or
planet -- or whether it be the sight of body, mind or heart.
Nur, Ishk....
