If we only knew the effect which our thoughts have on our state of mind
and on our relationship with others, as well as on our lifeТs condition,

we would understand why even a simple project that we might have had in
mind several years ago suddenly becomes a reality, because with each
thought the mind generates vibrations, which altogether, as the result
of our own free will, trace the line of destiny.

ONE WHO CAN QUICKEN THE FEELING OF ANOTHER TO JOY OR TO GRATITUDE, BY
THAT MUCH ONE ADDS TO ONE'S OWN LIFE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan

That efflux of the heart is life and light and love which the sentient
mind comprehends as different substances, although they are just
different attributes of the same cosmic substance. It is love that
quickens the heart or self of another and love is life; therefore adding
love is adding life. It is the same process and comes with the expansion
of heart.
