Passion is the smoke and emotion is the glow of love's fire.

Passion is the smoke and emotion is the glow of love's fire. Unselfishness is the flame that illuminates the path. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: People call love blind, but love in reality is the light of the sight.

Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him.

He is living whose sympathy is awake, and he is dead whose heart is asleep.

He is living whose sympathy is awake, and he is dead whose heart is asleep. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Life's light is love; and when the heart is empty of love, a man is living and yet not living; from a spiritual point of view he is dead. When the heart is asleep, he is as though dead in this life, for one can only love through the heart. But love does not mean give and take. That is only a trade; it's selfishness.
