God speaks to the ears of every heart, but it is not every heart that hears Him. Bowl of Saki, April 5, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Spirituality has become far removed from material life, and so God is far removed from humanity.

When one praises the beauty of God, one's soul is filled with bliss. Bowl of Saki, April 1, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan "Why does God need praise from me?
