Bowl of Saki for April 17
IT IS THE SURFACE OF THE SEA THAT MAKES WAVES AND ROARING BREAKERS; THE DEPTH IS SILENT.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
This surface is the physical condition, but between the physical and mental is a similar condition. Thus speech operates by waves moving through the ocean of air, and through these waves man is able to understand another in part. But there could have been no words and
no language if there was not some agreement to accept these word-symbols as expressions of thought. Thus thought makes itself known by waves, whether as sound in the physical or as waves which we can call telepathic in the mental.
Yet both these types of waves arise from the faculty of
discrimination. They tell what they tell, not through and in principles, but through and in differences. All these vibrations are disturbances of the media through which they move, and every disturbance of any kind reacts according to the karmic law. So all thought, as well as all speech and action, which is not divinely harmonious to begin with, is of the nature of war, disease, disharmony and disruption.
