Love at Single Breath

Come, come again, whoever you are, come!
Heathen, fire worshipper or idolatrous, come!
Come even if you broke your penitence a hundred times,
Ours is the portal of hope, come as you are..
This is the invitation of Hz. Mevlâna to all people in the world. This is the invitation to love, brotherhood, peace and tolerance.
Your language, your religion, your complexion is not important. Thousands of kings, emperors, sultans left this world. Also we will. Come together under the umbrella of peace at single breath.
