Our limited self

Our limited self is a wall separating us from the Self of God. Bowl of Saki, May 13, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: In order to reach spiritual perfection the first thing is to destroy this false self. First this delusion must be destroyed. And this is done by the ways taught by the great teachers, ways of concentration and meditation, by the power of which one forgets oneself and removes one's consciousness from oneself, in other words rises from one's limited...

Wine of Christ

The mystic desires what Omar Khayyam calls wine; the wine of Christ, after drinking which, no one will ever thirst. Bowl of Saki, May 12, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There are many ideas which intoxicate man, many feelings there are which act upon the soul as wine, but there is no stronger wine than the wine of selflessness. It is a might and it is a pride that no worldly rank can give. To become something is a limitation, whatever one may become. Even if a... Sign in to see full entry.

God-communication is the best communication that true spiritualism can teach us.

Even if an inspiration comes through the mind of a person living on earth or through a soul who has passed on to the other side, it still has come from God, for all knowledge and wisdom belong to God.

Thinking of God

When we devote ourselves to the thought of God, all illumination and revelation is ours. Bowl of Saki, May 10, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The whole aim of the Sufi is, by thought of God, to cover his imperfect self even from his own eyes, and that moment when God is before him and not his own self, is the moment of perfect bliss to him. My Murshid, Abu Hashim Madani, once said that there is only one virtue and one sin for a soul on the path: virtue when he is... Sign in to see full entry.

The body as the bushel

We cover our spirit under our body, our light under a bushel; we never allow the spirit to become conscious of itself. Bowl of Saki, May 9, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The life one recognizes is only the mortal aspect of life. Very few have ever seen or been conscious of the immortal aspect at all. Once one has realized life, that which one has hitherto called life is found to be only a glimpse or shadow of the real life that is beyond comprehension. To... Sign in to see full entry.
