Wisdom can only be learned gradually, and every soul is not ready to receive or to understand the complexity of the purpose of life. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man likes complexity. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. The man who is seeking the truth gets into a maze, and that maze interests him. He wants to go through it a thousand times more. It is just like children. Their whole... Sign in to see full entry.

Nature is the greatest scripture

There is no greater scripture than nature, for nature is life itself. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we think of the various ways in which wisdom has been given out in legend, in poetry, in symbolism, and we find that in every stage of evolution the same story or legend, or poem or symbology holds a different meaning, by this, I do not mean to say that as a man looks he understands things differently at each stage of evolution, but I mean the...

Each soul's attainment is according to its evolution.

Each soul's attainment is according to its evolution. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Opinion is an outcome of mind. It is an outburst of its reasoning and judging faculty. And so, according to the evolution of a particular mind, its opinion is. Opinions clash when two people of different stages of evolution express themselves. Therefore the wise are more reluctant to express their opinion, whereas for the unwise it is easy.
