Bowl of Saki for December 24
FAILURE, EITHER IN HEALTH OR AFFAIRS, MEANS THERE HAS BEEN LACK OF SELF-CONTROL. --Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Nufs is unable to direct affairs. Nufs has no wisdom, cannot see ahead. Nufs urges one to eat delicate food but sees no illness resulting. Nufs caters to passions and does not recognize weakness until too late. Nufs surrenders to vice and puts the blame elsewhere. A person under the sway of nufs seldom attains success
and quickly loses the greatest success no matter what pain and sacrifice were undergone in the attainment.
Self-control surely wins success in the end, for body, mind and heart follow the true course. By it, one shapes the mind first and the destiny afterwards. That is true freedom of Will which achieves success in relation to the ideal.
