The knowledge of God is beyond man's reason; the secret of God is hidden in the knowledge of unity. Bowl of Saki, October 11, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: The knowledge of God is beyond man's reason. Man only perceives things he is capable of perceiving.

There is no greater scripture than nature, for nature is life itself. Bowl of Saki, October 5, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: When we think of the various ways in which wisdom has been given out in legend, in poetry, in symbolism, and we find that in every stage of evolution the same story or legend, or poem or symbology holds a different meaning, by this, I do not mean to say that as a man looks he understands things differently at each stage of evolution, but I...
