Our View of God Changes as we Evolve

At every step of evolution, man's realization of God changes. Bowl of Saki, March 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There is a time when toys are treasures. But the child who cries for a toy comes to an age when he gives it away. And at every step in a man's evolution the values of power and position and wealth change in his eyes. And so as he evolves there arises in him a spirit of renunciation which may be called the Spirit of God. Gradually he recognizes the... Sign in to see full entry.

God is Truth

God is truth, and truth is God. Bowl of Saki, March 14, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Many intellectual people, with their various ideas, differ from one another in their opinions and in their way of looking at things, in their speculations, but do the prophets differ from one another?

The Truth Is Within YOU

The source of truth is within man; he himself is the object of his realization. Bowl of Saki, March 12, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: In point of fact truth is simple; it is man who makes it difficult for himself. For all other aspects of knowledge he has to get from outside, but truth is something which is within man himself. It is something which is nearest to us though we imagine it to be farthest; it is something which is within, though we imagine it to be... Sign in to see full entry.

we create good and evil

GAYAN 008 - ALAPA-08 - God made man, and man made good and evil. There is no doubt that there is always a reason behind a reason, a higher reason. And when one arrives at this higher reason one begins to unlearn, as it is called by the mystics, all that one has once learnt. One unlearns and one begins to see quite the opposite. In other words, there is no good which has not a bad side to it, and nothing bad which has not a good side to it. No one rises without a fall, and no one fails without... Sign in to see full entry.
