Meditation (September 2007)

With each breath may we take refuge in the Living Truth alone, released from coarse arrogance and subtle pride.  May every thought and action be intended in the Supremely Holy Name Allah as direct expression of boundless Divine Compassion and Most Tender Love.  May the exaltation of endless praise arising spontaneously as the life of endless beings flow consciously toward the Single Source of Being, Source of the intricate evolution of endless worlds.  May we be guided through every experience along the Direct Path of Love that leads from the Human Heart into the Most Sublime Source of Love.

IJHC - WHR Observations

Not all that comes from Islam is angry or violent.

In fact, the Muslim world has been very tolerant of the many thousands of Muslims killed by Allied troops and dismissed as 'collateral damage.'
