Love is unlimited, but it needs scope to expand and rise; without that scope, life is unhappy. Bowl of Saki, December 26, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: A person who lives in happy surroundings with luxuries and sources of pleasure and comfort, may be envied and imagined to be a very happy and lucky man.

Failure, either in health or affairs, means there has been lack of self-control. Bowl of Saki, December 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The control of the self means the control of everything.

The plain truth is too simple for the seeker after complexity, who is looking for things he cannot understand. Bowl of Saki, December 19, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man likes complexity. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. The man who is seeking the truth gets into a maze, and that maze interests him. He wants to go through it a thousand times more. It is just like children. Their whole interest... Sign in to see full entry.
