Bowl of Saki for December 27, 2006
Bowl of Saki for December 27
EVERY WAVE OF THE SEA, AS IS RISES, SEEMS TO BE STRETCHING ITS HANDS UPWARDS, AS IF TO SAY, "TAKE ME HIGHER AND HIGHER."--Hazrat Inayat
Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
The waves of the sea are partly caused by the tides, which are themselves the result of gravitation, which in turn is an activity of Ishk in the physical sphere. This movement upward of the water, whether as wave or as vapor, is caused by the law that to find liberation one must become other than what one has been. So the
water becomes the vapor and the vapor the cloud. Yet the nufs of water is such that the emancipation does not make water non-water.
So the emancipation of man does not make man other than man; he can become neither animal nor angel, though he behave worse than animal or better than angel. There is a ceaseless striving in every form,
and the seeking of liberation is the seeking of God.
