Though you may not be able to change it, you can handle an ugly situation beautifully.
Vilayat Inayat KhanDive deeply into the miracle of life and let the tips of your wings be burnt by the flame, let your feet be lacerated by the thorns, let your heart be stirred by human emotion, and let your soul be lifted beyond the earth.
Vilayat Inayat KhanThere can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul, a total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were.
Vilayat Inayat KhanYou are a true representative of the spirituality of our home, India. Ever since I met you for the first time, the link between us has always grown in strength. I want to say how much I value the meaning of that bond, because it is one of true dedication to the service of God.
Vilayat Inayat KhanOvercome any bitterness that may have come because you were not up to the magnitude of the pain entrusted to you. Like the mother of the world who carries the pain of the world in her heart, you are sharing in a certain measure of that cosmic pain, and are called upon to meet it in joy instead of self pity.
