[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

But what I have noticed is when there is sadness around me...I often have sad dreams. The environment affects us in a subtle manner that reacts on a subconscious level. In the spirit of renunciation I will often tell a woman who is quite attractive to me of my intense interest in Amma. Sending someone a link can offer insight into another person. They may just ask you not to respond to them. Or on the contrary they May recognize The significance of the information. Even curiosity shows some receptivity.

To become cold from the coldness of the world is weakness, to become broken by the hardness of the world is feebleness, but to live in the world and yet to keep above it is like walking on the water.

     Bowl of Saki, September 15, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

The spiritual path is easiest if there is not something pulling one from behind; and that force is the life in the world, one's friends, surroundings, acquaintances, and one's foes. Remain, therefore, in the world as a traveler making a station on his way. Do all the good you can to serve and succor humanity, but escape attachment. By this in no way will you prove to be loveless. On the contrary, it is attachment which divides love, and love raised above attachment is like a rain from above nourishing all the plants upon the earth.
