When in ourselves there is inharmony, how can we spread harmony?

When in ourselves there is inharmony, how can we spread harmony? Bowl of Saki, October 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: It is harmony which makes beauty; beauty in itself has no meaning. An object which is called beautiful at a certain place and time is not beautiful at another place or another time. And so it is with thought, speech and action: that which is called beautiful is only so at a certain time and under certain conditions which make it beautiful. So... Sign in to see full entry.

Seek Him in all souls, good or bad, wise and foolish, attractive and unattractive; in the depths of each there is God. Bowl of Saki, October 12, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: As fruit ripens in the course of nature, so it is in the course of nature that the soul should mature; and it is no use being disappointed or disheartened about ourselves and about those near and dear to us, worrying because our husband, wife, father, or mother does not look at spiritual...

The knowledge of God is beyond man's reason; the secret of God is hidden in the knowledge of unity. Bowl of Saki, October 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The knowledge of God is beyond man's reason. Man only perceives things he is capable of perceiving. He cannot raise his imagination above what he is used to, and he cannot reach beyond his imagination to where the being of God is. The secret of God is hidden in the knowledge of unity. Man thinks, 'What can... Sign in to see full entry.

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, October 10, 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... 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, October 9, 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. And he has one aim in his religion and that is to make a God a reality. Therefore, his God becomes a greater God than the God of millions of people who only imagine that there is a God somewhere.

Love alone is the fountain from which all virtues ...

Love alone is the fountain from which all virtues fall as drops of sparkling water. Bowl of Saki, October 8, 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... Sign in to see full entry.
