Bowl of Saki for December 29, 2006
Bowl of Saki for December 29
A GAIN OR LOSS WHICH IS MOMENTARY IS NOT REAL; IF WE KNEW REALITIES WE SHOULD NEVER GRIEVE OVER THE LOSS OF ANYTHING WHICH EXPERIENCE SHOWS TO BE ONLY TRANSITORY.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Man is greater than anything in the physical or mental world. He cannot take the wealth of this world into Malakut, and all of Malakut is his possession when he enters Djabrut. We understand when leaving this world we cannot carry away its possessions, but we can carry
thoughts and these thoughts deter the pilgrim in the higher life. Man is a mirror which reflects all things in the worlds above or below. The *sahib-i-dil*, knowing this, does not have to accumulate knowledge. He sees what he needs reflected in mind, be that knowledge
from the worlds above or below. This is a great wonder
incomprehensible to the average man. Yet the sage attaches no value to the faculty; soul sees because it sees and when no longer confined to a narrow sphere by mind, all gains and losses pass away. In the
infinite are all things.

"sahib-i-dil": master mind of discipline, the awakened heart
