A person is the picture of the reflection of his imagination; he is as large or as small as he thinks himself. Bowl of Saki, April 14, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: All works of art and music and poetry come from imagination, for imagination is the free flow of mind, when the mind is allowed to work by itself and bring out the beauty and harmony it contains.

He who wants to understand, will understand.

He who wants to understand, will understand. Bowl of Saki, April 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: In India it is considered a great sin to awaken anyone who is asleep.

Vision

When a person looks at the ocean, he can only see that part of it which comes within his range of vision; so it is with the truth. Bowl of Saki, April 10, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan: As there is water in the depths of the earth, so there is truth at the bottom of all things, false or true. In some places, one has to dig deep; in other places, only a short distance; that is the only difference. But there is no place where there is no water. One may have to dig very,...
