Bowl of Saki for December 11
WHEN THE ARTIST LOSES HIMSELF IN HIS ART, THEN THE ART COMES TO LIFE.- -Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
By this means God created the world, and partly in imitation of Allah it is wise to follow such a course. Metaphysically speaking there is another explanation. Energy and magnetism are imparted to us with breath. When the breath is used to praise God or is returned
to God with fervor and remembrance, this increases the capacity for inspiration. In every form of inspiration -- whether one understands it spiritually or not -- all interest is focused in one's work. Then the divine breath touches every portion of man's being and this passes into the form which the artist is shaping -- be he musician, poet, architect, artisan or any other molder of beauty.
