Bowl of Saki, July 15, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: In order to awaken love and sympathy in our hearts, sacrifices must be made.

Riches and power

Riches and power may vanish because they are outside ourselves; only that which is within can we call our own.

Make the best of today

Do not bemoan the past, do not worry about the future, but try to make the best of today. Bowl of Saki, July 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There is not anything one should not be ready to tolerate, and there is nobody whom one should not forgive.
