We affirm that race, religion and nationality
cannot separate our shared beating heart.
We affirm that our heart seeks peace and unity
with the One heart to which we all belong,
and we affirm our solidarity in pursuit of peace.
We affirm that the flow of the same force that moves the universe,
moves through all our blood and all our hearts,
and we vow to rise above the distracting illusions of forgetfulness
and live in awareness.
We send a prayer that all beings will come together
in the burgeoning being through which
flows peace, peace, peace throughout the world.
~ Pir Zia of the Inayati Sufi order
