Bowl of Saki for December 15
BEHIND US ALL IS ONE SPIRIT AND ONE LIFE; HOW THEN CAN WE BE HAPPY IF OUR NEIGHBOR IS NOT ALSO HAPPY?--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Happiness is the condition of the heart. Heart touches every other heart. What is wished in the heart is wished for all persons or is not wished. That is the test of wish in the head or in the heart. Bodhisattva does not cease wishing; rather Bodhisattva are for all humanity. This shows the nature of heart, which cannot and does not
discriminate.
Can the unhappiness of another dull one's spirit? No, sympathy is not to let the shadow of another fall upon one's being, it is to let one's light bring life to another. Spiritual gifts must be shared or they will be taken away from one, for they are for all of God's children and not for a favored few.
