The worlds are held together by the heat of the sun; each of us are atoms held in position by that eternal Sun we call God.

The awakened heart says, "I must give, I must not demand." Thus it enters a gate that leads to a constant happiness.

Every being has a definite vocation and his vocation is the light that illuminates his life. The man who disregards his vocation is as a lamp unlit.

Through motion and change, life becomes intelligible; we live a life of change, but it is constancy we seek. It is this innate desire of the soul that leads man to God. Bowl of Saki, June 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man placed in the midst of this ever-changing world yet appreciates and seeks for constancy somewhere. He does not know that he must develop the nature of constancy in himself; it is the nature of the soul to value that which is dependable. But... Sign in to see full entry.
