Bowl of Saki for May 2 The truth need not be veiled, for it veils itself from the eyes of the ignorant. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan The soul, absorbed in its child-like fancies in things that it values and to which it gives importance, and in the beings to which it attaches itself, blinds itself by the veils of its illusion.

Bowl of Saki for May 1 You can have all good things - wealth, friends, kindness, love to give and love to receive - once you have learned not to be blinded by them, learned to escape from disappointment, and from repugnance at the idea that things are not as you want them to be. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan Do not expect much from friends. Why must they be as you want them to be? They are not made by you. They are as they are. You must try to be for... Sign in to see full entry.

Bowl of Saki for April 30 All gains, whether material, spiritual, moral or mystical, are in answer to one's own character.

Bowl of Saki for April 29 When souls meet each other, what truth they can exchange! It is uttered in silence, yet always surely reaches its goal. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan Truth comes to man's soul, and yet truth is not the exclusive property of creed, caste, or race.
