Lovehood is a state of being for lovers of the All-Beloved.

In lovehood all lovers are united by their devotion and by their love for the Beloved.

The lover is nothing but the expression of living, of loving and of realising the innermost desire of love. It is the intense longing to be absorbed and be united with the Beloved.

God is Love and God is the Beloved, says a Sufi statement.

The lover becomes less and less by his love, and the Beloved becomes more and more.

Lovehood is the universal heart of humanity for all lovers to live in.

There is always a hearty reception in that lovehood for all who have become love and for all who have come for that love and for all who will be in need for lovehood.

This is what no organisation can merely achieve or only books or claims can bring about.

There are enough institutions, rules and beliefs to direct the lives of true believers.

But lovehood is formed by the hearts of the devoted lovers who are travelling on the Path of Attainment. They will all understand the language of the heart, they all will live the life of the spirit, they all will search for the reality and they all will be directed by the truth.

They are connected to the spiritual heritage of the Masters by their Grace and Guidance.

The work of Sufi Lovehood is but simple praying, singing, dancing, playing and living.

But it can make your whole life as a sema and a zikar to glorify the Beloved Lord.

This book of Sufi Heartsinging and Devotion contains bread and wine for a devoted life.

If you will eat and drink only a little you will become more and more hungry and thirsty.

And when your heart will enter into the singing and devotions, you certainly will melt by these zikars of love and be blessed by fruitful labour and satisfied with human wonder.

You have to find the answers on your own questions in the right place and in the right time, and you have to live up to those answers. There is place in love and there is time in life, so live it and love it and may these devotions make you a happy devotee of Love.

Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan has left us his example of realisation and his blessing for our devotion and also many consoling and uplifting words of wisdom.

The next quotation is the motto for this book and forms the real reason of Sufi Lovehood.

The devotions itself will reveal their wonders in all who will share these wonders of love.
