Bowl of Saqi for January 6

Bowl of Saqi for January 6 THE TRUTH CANNOT BE SPOKEN; THAT WHICH CAN BE SPOKEN IS NOT THE TRUTH. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis: Truth is an Absolute, Transcendent Unity. Sounds are created out of Sound by the Universal Sound (called Logos by the Christians) which penetrates the mind-mesh giving rise to all particular sounds.

Bowl of Saqi for January 5

Bowl of Saqi for January 5 NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD AND LIVED. TO SEE GOD WE MUST BE NON-EXISTENT. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L.

Bowl of Saki for January 3 TRUTH WITHOUT A VEIL IS ALWAYS UNINTERESTING TO THE HUMAN MIND.--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): Above this mind-mesh there is a Universal Condition which cannot be grasped by the human mind. Human beings can understand it through the heart faculty but not through the mind.

Bowl of Saki for December 31 HAPPINESS LIES IN THINKING OR DOING THAT WHICH ONE CONSIDERS BEAUTIFUL.--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): Purest selfishness ends in unselfishness. The selfish person never entirely satisfies himself; when he does he satisfies others. This shows that all roads lead to God. Beauty is the desire of every soul and beauty is the essence of the Personality of God. The additional commentaries below the Bowl of Saki are the...
