LOVE DEVELOPS INTO HARMONY, AND OF HARMONY IS BORN BEAUTY.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
If there were an opposite condition to Love, it would not be
hate, but chaos. Hate is a force derived from love,
concentrated through nufs. Chaos, on the other hand, is the
opposite of all love. Allah, through Ishk, destroyed and
destroys chaos, and the first sign of the absence of chaos is
the music of life expressed in rhythms and harmonies. This is
the cause of all vibrations, out of which all worlds were made.
Beauty is the natural result of harmony in that it uplifts the
soul. The harmonies, melodies and rhythms of vibrations and
forms are intoxicating. One can see in an instant the
inspiration of an artist -- that one picture does not inspire
and another does inspire the witness. Beauty in form, be it in
nature or from the hands of man, is always compelling and
uplifting.
Ishk (Ishq)....
