Bowl of Saki, July 28, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Spirit can only love spirit; in loving form it deludes itself. Bowl of Saki, July 28, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Can anyone kill life? If there is any death, it is that of death itself, for life will not die. Someone went to a Sufi with a question. He said, 'I have been puzzling for many, many years and reading books, and I have not been able to find a definite answer. Tell me what happens after death?' The Sufi replied, 'Please ask this question of someone... Sign in to see full entry.

Bowl of Saki, July 27, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Belief and disbelief have divided mankind into so many sects, blinding its eyes to the vision of the oneness of all life. Bowl of Saki, July 27, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: For the Sufi there exists no one in this world, neither heathen nor pagan, who is to be despised, for he believes in that God who is not the God of one chosen sect but the God of the whole world.

Bowl of Saki, July 26, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Every purpose has a birth and death; therefore, God is beyond purpose. Bowl of Saki, July 26, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Then again it may be said, there is a purpose above each purpose, and there is again a purpose under each purpose; and yet beyond and beneath all purposes there is no purpose. from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_I_2.htm That which we call composition and decomposition and construction and destruction of things, all those are due to change,...

Bowl of Saki, July 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Our spirit is the real part of us, the body but its garment. A man would not find peace at the tailor's because his coat comes from there; neither can the spirit obtain true happiness from the earth just because his body belongs to earth. Bowl of Saki, July 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Spirituality is contrary to materiality. One who is conscious of matter alone is material, one who becomes conscious of spirit also is spiritual. He who thinks, 'I am my... Sign in to see full entry.

Bowl of Saki, July 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

There should be a balance in all our actions - to be either extreme or lukewarm is equally bad. Bowl of Saki, July 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There are two forces in us, love and reason. We must keep an even balance between the two. If we give too much expression to love we become unbalanced and fall into trouble. And if on the other hand we lean too much on the side of reason we become cold. from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/V/V_40.htm In balance lies the... Sign in to see full entry.
