Fire of Love


That fire, that light whose name is love
burns away both belief and unbelief.
Religious belief is one thing —
but the way of love
is something entirely different.
Love’s Prophet, Love’s messenger, Love’s angel
is beyond creeds, beyond petty distinctions
and leads us out beyond ourselves
into the fields of infinite compassion.

— Abu Sa’id abi-l Khayr
