5:10 AM-12/14/19 

May this be a morning of innocent beginning,
When the gift within you slips clear 
Of the sticky web of the personal
With its hurt and hauntings,
And fixed fortress corners,

A morning when you become a pure vessel
For what wants to ascend from silence,  ...

... May your imagination know
The grace of perfect danger,
To reach beyond imitation,
And the wheel of repetition,
Deep into the call of all 
The unfinished and unsolved...

... Until the veil of the unknown yields
And something original begins 
To stir toward your senses
And grow stronger in your heart.

​AFTERNOON

In ( the world of ) existence
myriads of seas and fishes
prostrate themselves in adoration
before that munificence and bounty. ​

How many rain of largess
hath rained, so that the sea 
was made thereby to scatter pearls!

How many of generosity 
hath shone, so that cloud and sea
.... learned to be bountiful!

Awakening isn't about
becoming extraordinary.
If anything, it's about
becoming ordinary.
It's about becoming
who we really, really, are.

He who keeps no secret has no depth;
his heart is like a vessel turned upside down.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/say/gayan_boulas.htm​

Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan:​
The secret of all attainment is centered in reserve.
Spiritual or material,
when a person has told his plans to others,
he has let out the energy that he should have kept
as a reservoir of power for the accomplishment of his object.

... The teaching, 'Be wise as a serpent,' may be interpreted,
'Be quiet as a serpent.'
It is quietude that gives wisdom and power.
The thought held in mind speaks to the mind of another,
but the thought spoken out most often
only reaches the ears of a person.
Every plan has a period of development;
and if man has power over his impulse,
by retaining the thought silently in mind,
he allows the plan to develop
and to take all necessary changes
that it may take for its culmination.

But when the impulse expresses the thought,
it so to speak 'puts out the flame,'
thus hindering the development of the plan.
The wise speak with their mind many times
before they speak about it to anybody.

   ~~~ "Githa I, Sadhana 7, The Path of Attainnment"
by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)​

I say,
"Without the control over your  lips
you will not be able to develop inspiration." 

 As a poet has said,
"When the shell closes its lips, then the pearl develops in it."
... the more you are able to keep your secret in your heart,
greater you become.  
You have more weight,
your personality becomes more reliable,
more dependable.  
As it is said in Vadan that
it is best to
​ say something without saying.

   ~~~ "Sangatha II, Secrecy on the Path of Truth", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)​

As soon as a person thinks, 'I am more,'
the doors of knowledge are closed.
He will no more be able to widen his knowledge
because automatically,
the doors of his heart are closed
the moment he says,
​ 'I know.'

Spiritual knowledge, the knowledge of life,
is so intoxicating, so exalting,
it gives such a great joy,
that one begins to pour out one's knowledge
before anyone who comes along
as soon as this knowledge springs up.

But if at that time the disciple could realize
that he should conserve that kindling of the light,
reserve it, keep it within himself and let it deepen,
then his words would not be necessary
and his presence would enlighten people.

As soon as the spring rises and he pours forth
what comes out of that spring in words,
although on the one side his vanity will be satisfied,
on the other side his energy will be exhausted.

The little spring that had risen,
he has poured out before others
and he remains without power.
This is why reserve is taught to the true disciple,
the conserving of inspiration and power.
​
The one who speaks is not always wise;
it is the one who listens who is wise.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/X/X_2_8.htm

The more one knows the secret of the world
the more one feels inclined to keep it secret.
And the more one keeps secret what one knows
the more life unfolds its secrets to one.
...  it must be remembered that the power of the body is nothing in comparison with the power of the mind.
And the power of the one who keeps a secret
is greater than the power of the giant
who lifts a mountain.
All that one holds is preserved,
all that one lets go is dispersed.
