Earthly Knowledge & Truth

.


All earthly knowledge is as
a cloud covering the sun.
Bowl of Saki, March 23, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

 


Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
 
Truth is the very self of man.
Truth is the divine element in man.
Truth is every soul's seeking.  

Therefore as soon as the clouds of illusion are scattered, that which man now begins to see is nothing but the truth which has been there all the time. He finds that the truth was never absent; it was only covered by clouds of illusion.

   ~~~ "Supplementary papers, Philosophy V", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)


Man brings unhappiness upon himself by holding in his hands the clouds of bad impressions, which fall as a shadow upon his soul. Once a person is able to clear from his mind, by whatever process, the undesirable impressions, a new power begins to spring from his heart. This opens a way before him to accomplish all he wishes, attracting to him all he requires, clearing his path of all obstacles, and making his atmosphere clear, for him to live and move and to accomplish all he wishes to accomplish.
