By the power of prayer, man opens the door of the heart, in which God, the ever-forgiving, the all-merciful, abides. Bowl of Saki, November 4, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There are three kinds of people among those who offer prayer.

In man's search for truth, the first lesson and the last is love. There must be no separation, no "I am" and "thou art not". Until man has arrived at that selfless consciousness, he cannot know life and truth. Bowl of Saki, November 3, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we look at this subject from a mystic's point of view, we see that love has two aspects. Love in itself, and the shadow of love fallen on the earth. The former is heavenly the latter is earthly.... Sign in to see full entry.

It is a patient pursuit to bring water from the depth of the ground; one has to deal with much mud in digging before one reaches the water of life. Bowl of Saki, November 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Love is life, and life is symbolized by water. When one wants to bring water up out of the ground one has to dig for it, and the first thing which one finds is mud.

Self stands as a wall between man and God.

Self stands as a wall between man and God. Bowl of Saki, November 1, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: God speaks to everyone, not only to the messengers and teachers. He speaks to the ears of every heart, but it is not every heart which hears it. His voice is louder than the thunder, and His light is clearer than the sun -- if one could only see it, if one could only hear it. In order to see it and in order to hear it man should remove this wall, this barrier which... Sign in to see full entry.

Earthly knowledge is as clouds dimming the sight, and it is the breaking of these clouds - in other words, purity of heart - that gives the capacity for the knowledge of God to rise. Bowl of Saki, October 31, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: We all are pupils, and what we can do in life is to qualify ourselves to become true pupils. It is the receptivity of our heart and the passivity of our mind, it is the eagerness, the thirst and hunger after truth, it is the... Sign in to see full entry.
