The one who has failed himself has failed all; he who has conquered himself has won all.
Bowl of Saki, February 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
There is no reason for anyone to feel discouraged by his weaknesses or deficiencies, or by his actions that have dissatisfied him, or by anything in life that has failed. He should forget the past that has failed him, and begin to construct and mold his future as he would wish it to be. Considering that as a branch is not separate from the bough, and the bough is not separate from the stem, so with all our limitations we are not separate from the will of the Unlimited One.
