The wise person submits to conditions when he is helpless, bowing to the will of God. But the evil that is avoidable he roots out without sparing one single moment or effort. Bowl of Saki, December 4, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: By looking for happiness, what does man seek after? He is seeking after his self, though he does not know it.... The more one understands oneself, the more one finds that everything that one finds lacking in others is also lacking in oneself....

Justice can never be developed while we judge others; the only way is by constantly judging ourselves. Bowl of Saki, December 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Spiritual progress is the changing of the point of view. There is only one way to recognize this progress, and that is to see the progress in one's own outlook on life, to ask oneself the question, 'How do I look at life?'
