Our thoughts have prepared for us the happiness or unhappiness we experience. Bowl of Saki, June 14, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: All our possessions, all that we collect in life, all these things which we shall have to leave one day are transitory; but that which we have created in our thought, in our mind, that lives.

True justice cannot be perceived until the veil of selfishness has been removed from the eyes. Bowl of Saki, June 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The development of the sense of justice lies in unselfishness; one cannot be just and selfish at the same time.

Man's whole conduct in life depends upon what he holds in his thought. Bowl of Saki, June 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The heart, which is called a mirror in Sufi terms, has two different actions which it performs.

When power leads and wisdom follows, the face of wisdom is veiled and she stumbles; but when wisdom leads and power follows, they arrive safely at their destination. Bowl of Saki, June 10, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The head power is not enough to give the Message to humanity.
