Bowl of Saki for December 1
THE HIGHER YOU RISE, THE WIDER BECOMES THE MARGIN OF YOUR VIEW.-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Mind can only see what it has experienced, but the mind of an intelligent person will only consider what others have experienced. But all the experience and knowledge of all people is beyond the ken of any one; it is only possible to hold in the heart which may be
attuned to the whole universe. When one has love for all mankind, one can feel -- even as a mother or father -- the condition of mankind, the need of mankind. But one can extend this feeling to animal, plant, rock and beyond space and time and sphere as the heart expands. Extension of view increases capacity of heart and increase of capacity of heart extends view. This is all caused by Ishk and is nothing but Ishk.
