Man's whole conduct in life depends upon what he holds in his thought. Bowl of Saki, June 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The heart, which is called a mirror in Sufi terms, has two different actions which it performs. Whatever is reflected in the heart does not only remain a reflection but becomes a creative power, productive of a phenomenon of a similar nature.

When power leads and wisdom follows, the face of wisdom is veiled and she stumbles; but when wisdom leads and power follows, they arrive safely at their destination. Bowl of Saki, June 10, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The head power is not enough to give the Message to humanity.

Bowl of Saki, June 7, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Nobody appears inferior to us when our heart is kindled with kindness and our eyes are open to the vision of God. Bowl of Saki, June 7, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: We are so situated in life that whatever position we may occupy we are never independent, we are never self-sufficient.
