Wisdom can only be learned gradually, and every soul is not ready to receive or to understand the complexity of the purpose of life. Bowl of Saki, October 6, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man likes complexity. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. The man who is seeking the truth gets into a maze, and that maze interests him. He wants to go through it a thousand times more. It is just like children.... Sign in to see full entry.

There is no greater scripture than nature, for nature is life itself.

There is no greater scripture than nature, for nature is life itself. Bowl of Saki, October 5, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we think of the various ways in which wisdom has been given out in legend, in poetry, in symbolism, and we find that in every stage of evolution the same story or legend, or poem or symbology holds a different meaning, by this, I do not mean to say that as a man looks he understands things differently at each stage of evolution, but I...

Bowl of Saki, October 4, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

There are those who are like a lighted candle: they can light other candles, but the other candles must be of wax - if they are of steel, they cannot be lighted.

Renunciation is always for a purpose; it is to kindle the soul that nothing may hold it back from God, but when it is kindled, the life of renunciation is not necessary. Bowl of Saki, October 3, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Renunciation has an automatic action on the heart of man, an action which very few realize because very few arrive at that stage where they can renounce. By this action a spiritual spark is kindled in the soul; and when a person has arrived... Sign in to see full entry.

Bowl of Saki, October 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

It always means that you must sacrifice something very dear to you when His call comes. Bowl of Saki, October 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we think deeply about the problem of life, there is no path in the world, whether spiritual or material, which we can tread successfully without a sacrifice. Sometimes the sacrifice is great, and sometimes small; sometimes the sacrifice is made first, before achieving success, and sometimes afterwards. As sacrifice is... Sign in to see full entry.
