For in the word, one can find a light which gems and jewels do not possess; a word may contain so much life that it can heal the wounds of the heart.

In the country you see the glory of God; in the city you glorify His name. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: From Sigoli, where the train journey ends, [Inayat and his father] had six days journey through the forest.

The lover of nature is the true worshipper of God.

The lover of nature is the true worshipper of God. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: A true worshipper of God sees His presence in all forms, and thus in respecting others he respects God.
