DO NOT LIMIT GOD TO YOUR VIRTUE.
HE IS BEYOND YOUR VIRTUES, O PIOUS ONES!
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Virtues can only be of two natures -- those conceived by God
and those conceived by man. Virtue as conceived by God is
nothing but Love, although it may be said to have the seed
of all virtues. Passing through the mind-mesh it appears
under all guises and activities and these are given names by
man; and especially those he likes he calls virtues, but all
really arise from one activity and one essence.
Until God is perceived as All-Embracing and as
All-Qualities, the virtue man ascribes to God is nothing but
the virtue he himself admires raised to an ideal, which
ideal is not God even in its highest aspect, so long as it
is attached to name.
