Bowl of Saki for January 29 Self-pity is the worst poverty; it overwhelms man until he sees nothing but illness, trouble and pain. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan If one studies one's surroundings one finds that those who are happy are so because they have less thought of self.

Bowl of Saki for January 26 The brain speaks through words; the heart in the glance of the eyes; and the soul through a radiance that charges the atmosphere, magnetizing all. Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan The phenomena of the radiance of the soul are apparent to the student of the human body.
