The seers see the soul of every person
as clearly as an open letter;
for it is the nature of sight.

The seer cannot help seeing the soul of another,
perceiving the thoughts and feelings that a person has.

As the eyes cannot help seeing what is before them,
so the heart, once made clear and pure from the rust,
then sees as the eyes see.

Wherever his glance falls,
on nature, on characters,
he reads their history, he sees their future.

Every person or object stands before him
as an open book.
-Hazrat Inayat Khan
