Each individual composes the music of his own life; if he injures another he breaks the harmony and there is discord in the melody of his life. Bowl of Saki, June 23, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: All the trouble in the world, and all the disastrous results arising out of it, all come from lack of harmony.
