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

Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting. Bowl of Saki, April 25

Sleep is comfortable, but awakening is interesting. Bowl of Saki, April 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: There are some who are content with a belief taught at home or in church.

Knowledge without love is lifeless.

Knowledge without love is lifeless. Bowl of Saki, April 23, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: The loveless heart may have all the religion and all the knowledge, yet it is dead. As the Bible says, "God is love." God is in the heart of each person, and the heart of each person is the highest heaven. When that heart is closed by the absence of love, then God is closed. When this heart is open, God is open, and one is alive from that time. ~~~ "Gathekas #22, Aims and Ideals",... Sign in to see full entry.

To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic

To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning. Bowl of Saki, April 22, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult learning. Every day we think we have learned the lesson, but if we had the world would have become a heaven for us now. We may seek the higher knowledge or the higher things, but the very smallest thing, the control of all the creatures of the mind,... Sign in to see full entry.
