Bowl of Saki for February 13, 2007


Bowl of Saki for February 13

WISDOM IS INTELLIGENCE IN ITS PURE ESSENCE, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY DEPENDENT UPON THE KNOWLEDGE OF NAMES AND FORMS.--Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):

This intelligence is the natural faculty and condition of the heart when it is not veiled by the mind, when the activity of the consciousness is focused in the depths of one's being. Wisdom may be considered as the apperception or grasping of the fundamental principles which lie beneath name and form. While these principles
can be perceived through particulars and do operate through particular forms, atoms and vibrations, they are essentially aspects of Nuri Mohammed, that is to say, of the Divine Mirror of God into which He gazed. When man gazes into that mirror, this knowledge, called by the Sufis *ilm*, is identical with Wisdom, God-knowledge
or Tassawuf.
