True justice cannot be perceived until the veil of selfishness has been removed from the eyes. Bowl of Saki, June 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: The development of the sense of justice lies in unselfishness; one cannot be just and selfish at the same time.

When power leads and wisdom follows, the face of wisdom is veiled and she stumbles; but when wisdom leads and power follows, they arrive safely at their destination. Bowl of Saki, June 10, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: The head power is not enough to give the Message to humanity.

The final victory in the battle of life for every soul is when he has risen above the things which once he most valued. Bowl of Saki, June 9, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: The final victory in the battle of life for every soul is when he has abandoned, which means when he has risen above, what once he valued most.
