Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting. Bowl of Saki, April 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan There are some who are content with a belief taught at home or in church. They are contented, and they may just as well rest in that stage of realization where they are contented until another impulse is born in their hearts to rise higher. The Sufi does not force his belief or his thoughts upon such souls. In the East, there is a saying that it is a great sin... Sign in to see full entry.

Bowl of Saki, April 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

The aim of the mystic is to keep near to the idea of unity, and to find out where we unite. Bowl of Saki, April 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan When people say that they distinguish between right and wrong by their results, even then they cannot be sure if in the punishment there was not a reward, or in the reward a punishment.

Bowl of Saki, April 22, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning. Bowl of Saki, April 22, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan The hustle and bustle of life leaves a man very little time to think of his general condition.

Bowl of Saki, April 21, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

The soul is first born into the false self, it is blind; in the true self the soul opens its eyes. Bowl of Saki, April 21, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Our greatest enemy is ourself. All weakness, all ignorance keeps us from the truth of our being, from all the virtues hidden in us and all perfection hidden in our souls. The first self we realize is the false self. Unless the soul is born again it will not see the kingdom of heaven. The soul is born into the... Sign in to see full entry.
