Bowl of Saki, August 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

The same herb planted in various atmospheric conditions will vary in form accordingly, but will retain its characteristics. Bowl of Saki, August 2, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Wisdom is the ultimate power. In wisdom is rooted religion, which connotes law and inspiration.
