CONFRATERNITY MEDITATION FOR OCTOBER 30

“A sincere man has a fragrance about him which is perceived by a sincere heart.”
Gayan of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Annotation by Cherag Hamid Touchon

 Love for God is the expansion of the heart, and all actions that come from the lover of God are virtues; they cannot be otherwise. There is a different outlook on life when the love of God has filled a man's heart. The lover of God will not hate anyone; for he knows that by doing so he will hate the Creator by hating His creation. He cannot be insincere, he cannot be unfaithful; for he will think that to be faithful and sincere to mankind is to be faithful and sincere to God. You can always trust the lover of God, however unpractical or however lacking in cleverness he may appear to be, for simply to hold strongly in mind the thought of God purifies the soul of all bitterness, and gives man a virtue that he could obtain nowhere else and by no other means. The Sufi Message of Hazrat Inayat Khan - The Art of Personality – Moral Culture - The Law of Beneficence -  Our Dealings with God

A Fikr Practice (silent breath meditation)

However many breathes seem appropriate

On the out breath 
""Open our Hearts "

On the in breath: 
""Illuminate our Souls" "

October 30, 1925 - If you put everything into it except the kitchen sink, you’d have the TV transmitter that beamed TV to London for the first time. To build the transmitter, John Baird used a tea chest, a biscuit box, darning needles, piano wire, motorcycle lamp lenses, old electric motors, cardboard scanning discs and glue, string and sealing wax.
