If you seek the good in every soul, you will always find it, for God is in all things; still more He is in all beings. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: We must learn to see the beauty, it is not everyone who sees it, often the critical spirit is occupied in gazing at the object which lacks beauty, the more you look for beauty, the more you see it as a whole. It is seeing the vision in part that deludes, you look at the side of a man's nature that may... Sign in to see full entry.

The whole purpose of life is to make God a reality.

The whole purpose of life is to make God a reality. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: As to the religion and the moral of the mystic, the mystic has one moral and that is love.

Love alone is the fountain from which all virtues fall as drops of sparkling water. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: What do I mean by love? It is such a word that one cannot give one meaning. All attributes like kindness, gentleness, goodness, humbleness, mildness, fineness, are names of one and the same thing. Love therefore is that stream which when it rises, falls in the form of a fountain, and each stream coming down is a virtue. All virtues... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a very high stage on the path of love when a man really learns to love another with a love that asks no return. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The nature of life on earth is illusory and in the Sanskrit tongue it is called Maya or illusion, and every soul having the spark of the divine love, forgets the use and the purpose of that spark and begins to love itself most.

Wisdom can only be learned gradually, and every soul is not ready

Wisdom can only be learned gradually, and every soul is not ready to receive or to understand the complexity of the purpose of life. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man likes complexity. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. The man who is seeking the truth gets into a maze, and that maze interests him. He wants to go through it a thousand times more. It is just like children. Their whole... Sign in to see full entry.

Nature is the greatest scripture

There is no greater scripture than nature, for nature is life itself. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we think of the various ways in which wisdom has been given out in legend, in poetry, in symbolism, and we find that in every stage of evolution the same story or legend, or poem or symbology holds a different meaning, by this, I do not mean to say that as a man looks he understands things differently at each stage of evolution, but I mean the...
