Bowl of Saki for February 28
ONE WHO CAN LIVE UP TO HIS IDEAL IS THE KING OF LIFE; ONE WHO CANNOT LIVE UP TO IT IS LIFE'S SLAVE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
It is better to be obedient to a simple standard than to strive for some unattainable goal. Success does not depend upon the goal, success depends upon our overcoming obstacles. Many think that if they claim some noble ideal or moral standard they are fulfilling
duty in life. This is a conclusion of man. Success comes from mastering our own weaknesses, and if we do not coordinate the efforts of thought, speech and deed, we cannot accomplish much. It is this unity of our self with our self that brings us sooner or later to full realization of unity.
