Overlook the fault of another but ...

Behavior of another is no excuse

Do not take the example of another as an excuse for your own wrongdoing. Bowl of Saki, August 18, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: How few there are in this world who stop to think whether the actions of another are right for him!

Words that Enlighten the Soul

Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. Bowl of Saki, August 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Among all the valuable things of this world, the word is the most precious. For in the word, one can find a light which gems and jewels do not possess; a word may contain so much life that it can heal the wounds of the heart. Therefore, poetry in which the soul is expressed is as living as a human being. The greatest reward that God bestows on man... Sign in to see full entry.

It is God who, by the hand of man, designs and carries out His intended plans in nature. Bowl of Saki, August 12, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: First we must understand what the word divine means. Divine means: in a state of perfection.
