The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There exists an affinity between the negative and the positive which inclines the one towards the other, and towards union, which results in a fresh conception of beauty. Ancient mythology has expressed this beautifully in the figure of Cupid, whose wings show that he is a spirit, and who, coming in the guise of a child, represents childhood. Cupid, the spirit of affinity, draws two of opposite sex together for the purpose of a birth of beauty. Thus it happens that the human kind is strongly attracted to its opposite; and when the expressive and responsive tendencies awaken through love and passion a third being is created, and a ray finds its abode in the mother's womb.
