Bowl of Saki for February 20
THE RELIGION OF EACH ONE IS THE ATTAINMENT OF HIS SOUL'S DESIRE; WHEN HE IS ON THE PATH OF THAT ATTAINMENT HE IS RELIGIOUS; WHEN HE IS OFF THAT PATH THEN HE IS IRRELIGIOUS, IMPIOUS.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Religion in its highest and truest sense being that which relates us to God, it is the fulfillment of this relation which alone satisfies the soul. This means the renunciation and abandonment of everything belonging to the three worlds of body, mind and spirit. So long as we hold any earthly or heavenly attachments our love is not for the Zat of God. When love is other than for the Zat of God, the person may be called irreligious. He is impious in the sense that this failure to keep on the right path will lead him sooner or later to error and sin, and this keeps him bound by karmic ties.
