Just A Thought ~ UNFOLDING

"Is there even one soul, however materialistic, that does not wish to unfold? There cannot be. It is in the unfoldment of the soul that the purpose of life is fulfilled."

~ Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Teacher, 1882 - 1927 ~

Sufism is the mystic branch or Islam, and was/is often under suspicion by mainstream Islam because of its openness towards other religions. The Sufis were so positive about everything. Look at this quotation from Master Jalalluddin Rumi (1207 - 1273):

"Come, come again, whoever, whatever you may be, come; Heathen, fire-worshiper, sinful of idolatry, come. Come, even if you have broken your penitence a hundred times; ours is not the portal of despair and misery. Come."

Is this not a recognition of the Buddha-nature in everyone?
