SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 326


+ We are called to create and enjoy a realm of compassion, peace, justice and sustainable abundance for all.

+ Hazrat Inayat Khan quotes on Beauty >
·         The Creator is hidden in his own creation. Natural religion is the religion of beauty.
·         Beauty is the object which every soul pursues.
·         Beauty is the life of the artist, the theme of the poet, the soul of the musician.
·         The same light which is fire on earth and the sun in the sky, is God in heaven.
·         All surrender to beauty willingly and to power unwillingly.
·         The creation is not only the nature of God, but also His art.
Go to http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/gayan_chalas.htm for more illuminating HIK quotes on Beauty, Love, Truth and more.  There are volumes of Sufi wisdom at that wonderful website.

+ Hazrat Inayat Khan was a prolific writer of Sufi wisdom and he often emphasized the importance of appreciating beauty.  The quotes above are only a taste of his offerings.  Sufism is the wonderful mystical branch of Islam which is now highly appreciated by those of us promoting the InterSpirituality movement.  It is so very important for us to appreciate the beauty of everything.  Beauty is everywhere.  Beauty is pervasive.  Beauty is abundant. Beauty is perhaps the most powerful revealer of that Love which permeates creation.   

+ Spirituality & Practice offers plenty of resources on the spiritual practice of Beauty. Also, there is an S&P Twelves Gallery of memes on Beauty.

+ I would love it if you offered a guest post.  And, I have work to do on the Abundancetrek Beauty page.  Maybe you can help.  Send an email with the subject “Beauty” or “Heavenly Attributes” or “Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.
