We blame others for our sorrows and misfortunes, not perceiving that we ourselves are the creators of our world. Bowl of Saki, June 6, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world.

Forbearance, patience and tolerance are the only conditions which keep two individual hearts united. Bowl of Saki, June 5, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Love teaches the lover patience, forbearance, gentleness, because he thinks, 'My beloved will be displeased; I will be as gentle as possible in my action and in my movements'.

Words are but the shadows of thought and feelings. Bowl of Saki, June 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Although the elements may be called earth, water, fire, air and ether, this must not be taken literally.
