Heart and Fire

Among the four elements (water, air, fire, soil), that of fire is more subtle and more beautiful so that from the old times, it has been regarded as the most wonderful manifestation of the Divinity and the glorious beauty of its flames is reminiscent of the divine illumination. Whenever a heart is struck by love, it remembers the primordial pact with the beloved so that enthusiastically flares up and as a result of this it leaves all habitual actions and behaviors. Accordingly, such a heart is illuminated by the stimulus for moving toward the Truth and all impurities which can pollute the purity of heart, have been set to fire by its own essential holiness.
