It is according to the extent of our consciousness of prayer that our prayer reaches God. Bowl of Saki, November 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Our follies and errors are natural; but when we defend ourselves, making virtues of our shortcomings and trying to hide our errors, it is as if we nurtured our errors, trying to make them grow. The only real method of growth is to judge ourselves constantly and to see where we fail; then in prayer to ask for pardon and right...

Reason is learned from the ever changing world, but true knowledge comes from the essence of life. Bowl of Saki, November 23, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: Knowledge and heart quality must be developed together.... Without a developed love quality, man is incapable of having that knowledge. There are fine lights and shades in one's life that cannot be perceived and fully understood without having touched the deeper side of life, which is the devotional side. The person...

It is not the solid wood that can become a flute, it is the empty reed.

In point of fact God Himself is the messenger. In the aspect of God He is God,... Sign in to see full entry.
