He who depends upon his eyes for sight, his ears for hearing and his mouth for speech, he is still dead. Bowl of Saki, May 8, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: It is the soul that sees, but we attribute sight and hearing to the eyes and ears. In absence of the soul neither the body nor the mind can see. When a person is dead the eyes are there, but they cannot see; the ears are there, but they cannot hear.... When the eyes are closed, do you think that the soul sees... Sign in to see full entry.

The afterlife is like a gramophone; man's mind brings the records; if they are harsh, the instrument produces harsh notes, if beautiful then it will sing beautiful songs. It will produce the same records that man has experienced in this life. Bowl of Saki, May 7, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: One characteristic of the mind is that it is like a gramophone record: whatever is impressed upon it, it is able to reproduce.

Those who have given deep thoughts to the world are those who have controlled the activity of their minds. Bowl of Saki, May 5, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: He is thoughtful whose mind is directed by his will, whose mind fulfills his intentions, whose mind is under the control of his intention.... Only those who have controlled the activity of their minds have given deep thoughts to the world. Those whose minds are working mechanically like a machine, or just... Sign in to see full entry.

Rest of mind is as necessary as rest of body, and yet we always keep the former in action. Bowl of Saki, May 4, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Imagine, after having toiled for the whole day, how much the body stands in need of rest; how much more then must the mind stand in need of rest!
