Bowl of Saki for December 27 EVERY WAVE OF THE SEA, AS IT RISES, SEEMS TO BE STRETCHING ITS HANDS UPWARDS, AS IF TO SAY, "TAKE ME HIGHER AND HIGHER."--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L.

LOVE IS AS THE WATER OF THE GANGES; IT IS IN ITSELF A PURIFICATION.

Bowl of Saki for December 25 LOVE IS AS THE WATER OF THE GANGES; IT IS IN ITSELF A PURIFICATION.--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): Heart heals heart.

Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): Nufs is unable to direct affairs. Nufs has no wisdom, cannot see ahead. Nufs urges one to eat delicate food but sees no illness resulting.
