Commentary for:
Whatever their faith, the wise have always been able to meet each other beyond those boundaries of external forms and conventions which are natural and necessary to human life, but which nonetheless separate humanity.

The truth of this, which is deeper than the historical or philosophical view, is that once the heart is open it can contact every other heart. There are not two sets of intuitions which conflict with each other. When the heart conveys an impression, it cannot be contrary to the impression carried to another heart. And when one has arrived at the state of heart-culture, all the hearts in the world are open to it.
This is the natural condition in Djabrut, but those who, because of their spiritual development upon earth, have recovered the faculties of angel and jinn can contact one another beyond space, beyond language, beyond mundane communication. This is natural for those traveling on the path to God.
They can even go further. Able to penetrate human hearts, they do not act or speak contrary to the beliefs of those around them except, perhaps, to carry them a step forward in their belief toward realization.
