FAILURE COMES WHEN WILL SURRENDERS TO REASON.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Will is the Divine Energy, which penetrates the mind-mesh
and has capacity to rise above it. When the mind begins to
turn its thought upon particular experiences, it seizes the
will power and prevents it from returning to God, keeping it
in the mind. This is the murder of Abel by Cain. This causes
all suffering and also prevents further will power from
entering the sphere. Mind cannot use that beyond its
capacity, but can misuse anything and everything.
The great weakness in reason is that every person may use it
for some particular end and even wickedness can be defended
by an argumentative mind.
