Things are worthwhile when we seek them; only then do we know their value. Bowl of Saki, April 9, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Very often people ask, 'How long has one to go on the spiritual path?'

Bowl of Saki, April 6, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Every name and every form speaks constantly, constantly makes signs for you to hear, for you to respond to, for you to interpret, that you may become a friend of God.
