Bowl of Saki for December 22, 2006
Bowl of Saki for December 22
WITH GOODWILL AND TRUST IN GOD, SELF-CONFIDENCE AND A HOPEFUL ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE, A MAN (OR WOMAN) CAN ALWAYS WIN HIS (HER) BATTLE, HOWEVER DIFFICULT.? Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
When there is trust in God, there can be no defeat. When man is bound by his conception of God, when he limits God by his human conception, his trust is necessarily limited. To increase the scope of trust one must find a greater being in whom to trust, and if this
being is limited by human thought, then trust is limited. Besides, one who has not trusted his fellowman does not know the meaning of trust; how can such a one trust in God?
The Sufi, beginning with God, placing God beyond conception, puts all his trust in the Living Reality, then assures himself of that trust and faith and by it is able to overcome all difficulties. No man is not able to do this; the Spirit of Guidance in man will lead him forth from every discomfort. This proves the great wisdom of God.
Sufis, through their spiritual exercises, remove the path and shadow of nufs which always hinders success.
