The higher you rise, the wider becomes the margin of your view. Bowl of Saki, December 1, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: No doubt, life is difficult for many of us, but very often we make it even more difficult for ourselves. When we do not understand the real nature and character of life we make our own difficulties.

It is the depth of thought that is powerful, and sincerity of feeling which creates atmosphere. Bowl of Saki, November 30, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Very few realize what power sincerity carries. A false man, however physically strong he is or however great is his will power, is kept down by his falsehood; it never allows him to rise. It eats into him because it is rust. Those who have done great things in life, in whatever walk of life it be, have done them by the... Sign in to see full entry.

The deeper your prayers echo in your own consciousness, the more audible they are to God. Bowl of Saki, November 29, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: There is a story of a peasant girl who was passing through a farm while going to another village. There was a Muslim offering his prayers on his prayer-rug in the open. The law is that no one should cross the place where anyone is praying. When this girl returned from the village this man was still sitting there. He said, 'O...

Once you have given up your limited self willingly to the Unlimited, you will rejoice so much in that consciousness that you will not care to be small again. Bowl of Saki, November 28, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: If you ask someone to say where he is, he will point at his arm, his hand, his body. He knows little beyond that. There are many who if asked, 'But where do you think you are in your body?' will say, 'In my brain.' They limit themselves to that small physical...

As long as in love there is "you" and "me", love is not fully kindled. Bowl of Saki, November 27, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: There are three stages of morals. The first stage is the moral of reciprocity. This moral is natural to the one who sees the difference between himself and another, who recognizes every man as such and such.
