Riches and power may vanish because they are outside ourselves; only that which is within can we call our own. Bowl of Saki, July 14, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Where is man's wealth? It is in his knowledge.

Praise cannot exist without blame; it has no existence without its opposite

Praise cannot exist without blame; it has no existence without its opposite. Bowl of Saki, July 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There is a pair of opposites in all things, and in each there exists the spirit of the opposite: in man the quality of woman, in woman the spirit of man, in the sun the form of the moon, in the moon the light of the sun.

Do not bemoan the past, do not worry about the future, but try to make the best of today.

It is the lover of God whose heart is filled with devotion who can commune with God, not he who makes an effort with his intellect to analyze God.
