Bowing In Our Hearts
From today's Bowl of Saki by Hazrat Inayat Khan:"It is the fruit that makes the tree bow low."
"A true worshipper of God sees His presence in all forms, and thus in respecting others he respects God. It may even develop to such an extent that the true worshipper of God, the Omnipresent, walks gently on the earth, bowing in his heart even to every tree and plant, and it is then that the worshipper forms a communion with the Divine Beloved at all times."

What a great quote! What tradition did he follow? I really want to get to just that place.
Hazrat Inayat Khan is the Sufi teacher who brought Sufism to the west in the early 1900's. You can read about him at

Beautiful. I love to bow to every plant, tree, rock and every living being. Thanks for this.
