Bowl of Saki for December 5
ENVIABLE IS THE ONE WHO LOVETH AND ASKETH NO RETURN.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
It is only heart which can heal heart. When heart depends upon other than heart, heart has still to learn. The Sufi system of spiritual dependence upon a teacher is founded upon this principle, that when one's heart is not open, it can be awakened either by complete attunement with one whose heart is already opened or who is attuning himself to one whose heart is opened.
There is no asking or seeking in love -- or giving or taking. The natural condition of heart is this: that when it loves others it feeds itself and when it feeds itself it shares with all others. This explains the mysteries of the loaves and fishes of the Bible. Loaves are the Divine Knowledge and the fishes symbolize the breath.
No matter how much the Divine Knowledge is given away, it is not diminished; rather the more one shares with another, the more one benefits therefrom.
