Bowl of Saki 12/3 - The Sage Walks In Perfect Clarity

Bowl of Saki 12/3 - The Sage Walks In Perfect Clarity JOY AND SORROW ARE THE LIGHT AND SHADE OF LIFE. WITHOUT LIGHT AND SHADE NO PICTURE IS CLEAR.--Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti): Joy produces light and at the same time joy is the result of light. Nothing stands before joy except false conception of self.

It is the depth of thought that is powerful, and sincerity of feeling which creates atmosphere. Bowl of Saki, November 30, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Very few realize what power sincerity carries. A false man, however physically strong he is or however great is his will power, is kept down by his falsehood; it never allows him to rise. It eats into him because it is rust. Those who have done great things in life, in whatever walk of life it be, have done them... Sign in to see full entry.

The deeper your prayers echo in your own consciousness, the more audible they are to God. Bowl of Saki, November 29, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: There is a story of a peasant girl who was passing through a farm while going to another village.
