Concentration and contemplation are great things; but no contemplation ...

Concentration and contemplation are great things; but no contemplation is greater than the life we have about us every day. Bowl of Saki, February 17, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: As one goes further in the soul's unfoldment one finally arrives at the stage of revelation.

We are always searching for God afar off, when all the while He is nearer to us than our own soul. Bowl of Saki, February 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Spirituality has become far removed from material life, and so God is far removed from humanity.

Man forms his future by his actions; his every good or bad action spreads its vibrations and becomes known throughout the universe. Bowl of Saki, February 14, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: According to the ideas of the mystics the world in which we make our life is an Akasha, and Akasha means capacity. It is pictured by them as a dome; and whatever is spoken in it has its echo. Therefore no one can do, say, or think anything for one moment which will become... Sign in to see full entry.

Wisdom is intelligence in its pure essence, which is not necessarily dependent upon the knowledge of names and forms. Bowl of Saki, February 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Often people confuse the two terms intellect and wisdom; sometimes they use the word intellect for wisdom, sometimes wisdom for intellect. In point of fact these are two different qualities altogether. The knowledge which is learned by knowing names and forms in the outside world belongs to... Sign in to see full entry.
