Bowl of Saki for April 12
THE IDEAL OF GOD IS A BRIDGE CONNECTING THE LIMITED LIFE WITH THE UNLIMITED; WHOSOEVER TRAVELS OVER THIS BRIDGE PASSES SAFELY FROM
THE LIMITED TO THE UNLIMITED LIFE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Most words indicate that which the mind has grasped of the finite portion of existence. But this finite portion is not reality, it is shadow or color, and depends upon our own condition, not upon the thing or condition or principle apprehended. Now mind, realizing that all did not come within its ken and finding that the greater portion of life is not intellectually understood, made use of the word *God* or of some similar word to describe the Pleroma -- the All-Embracing, Living Fullness which is felt to be by the ignorant and known to be by the wise. This feeling of God, which is the greatest intuition, through faith helps one greatly toward its realization.
