AFriend’s Secret

The secret of a friend should be kept as one's own secret; the fault of a friend one should hide as one's own fault.

Words are but the shadows of thought and feelings.

Passions

Man's bodily appetites take him away from his heart's desires; his heart's desires keep him away from the abode of his soul. Bowl of Saki, June 1, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There are two parts in man. One part is his external self, which the soul has borrowed from the earth; and the other part is his real self, which belongs to his Source.
