It is the depth of thought that is powerful, and sincerity of feeling which creates atmosphere. Bowl of Saki, November 30, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Very few realize what power sincerity carries. A false man, however physically strong he is or however great is his will power, is kept down by his falsehood; it never allows him to rise. It eats into him because it is rust.

Once you have given up your limited self willingly to the Unlimited, you will rejoice so much in that consciousness that you will not care to be small again. Bowl of Saki, November 28, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: If you ask someone to say where he is, he will point at his arm, his hand, his body.

If the eyes and ears are open, the leaves of the trees become as pages of the Bible. Bowl of Saki, November 17, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: If one would realize that the world of God, His splendor and magnificence, are to be seen in the wise and the foolish, in the good and the bad, then one would think tolerantly and reverently of all mankind, knowing that it represents the messenger, as the messenger represents God. For no one has seen God at any time, but if... Sign in to see full entry.

The message of God is like a spring of water: it rises and falls, and makes its way by itself. Bowl of Saki, November 16, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The key to the secret of the messenger is given in the Bible, but very few will ponder upon it and reason it out for themselves. The key is in the words, 'I am Alpha and Omega', 'I am the first and the last.' Can that mean, 'I came only for a time, and then I was called Jesus, and only then did I give a message: I...
