Inayat Khan has inspired me to stay the course tonight...
“Failure comes when will surrenders to reason.
Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan”
He elaborated in his commentary and makes me wonder what miracles occur as a result of increased will power- could they be beyond our imagination...?
“
Will is not [merely] 'a power', but it is all the power there is. How did God create the world? By will. Therefore, what we call 'will power' in us is in reality 'God power,' a power that increases by our recognizing its potentiality and proves to be the greatest phenomenon in life. If there is any secret behind the mystery of the world of phenomena that can be learned, it is will power. It is by will power that all we do, physically or mentally, is accomplished. Our hands, with all their perfect mechanisms, cannot hold a glass of water if there is no will power to support them. If will power fails, a person seemingly healthy will not be able to stand.
