Attitude is the principle thing in life.

.


Attitude is the principle thing in life. It is not the conditions in life which change life for us, but mostly it is our * attitude toward life and its conditions * upon which depends our happiness or unhappiness.  ~ Bowl of Saki, June 3, 2013, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Trust in God

.


Put your trust in God
for support
and see
His hidden hand
working through all sources.




 Bowl of Saki, August 24, by Hazrat Inayat Khan


Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
The one thing to rely upon is God's favor. Do not build either on your study or on your meditation, although they both help you. But you are dependent on God, not even on your murshid. Seek Him, trust Him. In Him lies your life's purpose, and in Him is hidden the rest of your soul.   ~~~ "Classes for Mureeds,  Mureedship", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)


Man's greatest privilege is to become a suitable instrument of God, and until he knows this he has not realized his true purpose in life. The whole tragedy in the life of man is his ignorance of this fact. From the moment a man realizes this, he lives the real life, the life of harmony between God and man. When Jesus Christ said, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God,' this teaching was an answer to the cry of humanity: some crying, 'I have no wealth,' others crying, 'I have no rest,' others crying, 'My situation in life is difficult,' My friends are troubling me,' or, 'I want a position, wealth.' The answer to them all is, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.'
