"God is good but not safe, and the urge for safe art is often a worldly temptation away from goodness."

Previous Quote

Things of heaven cannot be obtained by perseverance; they are the grace of God. To open to this and trust in it is how belief is crystallized into faith. We cannot pay for it in any form, in any way, by our goodness, by our piety, by our great qualities, merits, or virtues; nothing. It is a gift, and all we can do is receive it.

— Hazrat Inayat Khan
