Bowl of Saki for December 19
THE PLAIN TRUTH IS TOO SIMPLE FOR THE SEEKER AFTER COMPLEXITY, WHO IS LOOKING FOR THINGS HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
The emotional stir of things and the intoxication of the outer life are the great detriments. One who has become accustomed to them grows to love complexities. Now heart is not complex although heart
may be considered as *involved*. That is to say, one cannot by simple analysis find heart. Heart is simple but not analyzable. One cannot express the greater in terms of the smaller and still understand the greater. Man is an aggregate of cells, let us say. Yet we can study physical cells forever and never discover man.
This shows there is something missing in analysis. This something, every little child knows -- as well as a loving mother and a kind father, often quite involuntarily -- for it is the very nature of life which causes them to feel this something. This is Ishk, the great life-force of the Universe which is tendered to every man through Divine Guidance.
