Bowl of Saki for April 9
THINGS ARE WORTHWHILE WHEN WE SEEK THEM, ONLY THEN DO WE KNOW THEIR VALUE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
But the real value is in the search, not in the things. In the story of "Sir Laufal" by the poet Lowell, the cup of Christ was as a cup of pure running water. It was not magical, but the search and the suffering brought the awakening. Actually no thing has great spiritual value, but to cease to search -- to be unwilling to attain, not to look or strive -- all these prevent God from manifesting and from returning to His Source.
