It is more important to know the truth about one's self
than to try to find out the truth of heaven and hell.
Bowl of Saki, March 9, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
It is more important to find out the truth about oneself than to find out the truth about heaven and hell, or about many other things which are of less importance and are apart from oneself. However, every man's pursuit is according to his state of evolution, and so each soul is in pursuit of something but he does not know where it leads him.
The first sign of realization is tolerance towards others. There are the words of Christ: 'In the house of my father are many mansions' and those of the Prophet: 'Each soul has its own religion' This means that according to his evolution so man knows the truth and the more a man knows, the more he finds there is to learn.
