The whole secret of esotericism lies in controlling the mind and in working with it as an artist would work on a canvas, producing whatever he likes.
When we are able to produce on the canvas of our heart all that we wish, and to erase all we wish, then we arrive as that mastery for wich our soul craves.
We fulfill the purpose of which we are here. Then we become the masters of our destiny.
It's difficult, but that is the object that we porsue in life.
― Sufi Message 2 (210-212, 214), Hazrat Inayat Khan.
