Bowl of Saki for April 18
OUR SUCCESS OR FAILURE DEPENDS UPON THE HARMONY OR DISHARMONY OF OUR INDIVIDUAL WILL WITH THE DIVINE WILL.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
All thought, speech and action not divine in its operation causes disturbance. Therefore restraint of thought, speech and action appears necessary to produce calmness and peace for ourselves or for the universe. But this is the calmness of sleep, not of activity, and approaches death, not life, in its principle. The great quest is to find the calmness which is action, the peace that is expressive, the principle which is harmonious in all its operations.
This comes through our union with God, and this in turn is the natural result of the spiritual practices, especially Fikar. This permits action, allows the life to touch the surface and spiritualizes even the dense earth, for as soon as human will touches Divine Will, then that instant the Divine Will is expressed through the human being. And for this humanity was made to appear on the earth.
