The principal teaching is that the heart of man is the shrine of God, to recognize God in one's own heart, to feel His existence, presence, virtue, goodness, all manner of beauty.
It must be remembered that the whole life around us is a life of falsehood.
The more you see and experience the more you see how very false it is, how much disillusionment there is.
The only way of getting over it is to light the lamp in the darkness of night, and all will be cleared. The secret of life is this: to produce beauty in ourselves.
When beauty is produced in the heart, then all that breaks the heart vanishes and the whole universe becomes one single vision of the sublimity of God.
-Religious Gatheka 13, Message of Christ, Hazrat Inayat Khan
