We Are Vehicles Of Response


The principles of mysticism rise from the heart of man;

they are learnt by intuition and proved by reason.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan


We are vehicles or instruments that respond.

If we respond to goodness, goodness becomes our property.

If we respond to evil, then evil becomes our property.

If we respond to love, then love becomes our possession.

If we respond to hatred, hatred becomes our life.

And if we respond to the things of the earth so much that our whole life becomes absorbed in worldly things, then it is quite natural that we should not respond to those riches which are within us

Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
