Bowl of Saki for January 13
DO NOT LIMIT GOD TO YOUR VIRTUE. HE IS BEYOND YOUR VIRTUES, O PIOUS ONES! .--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Virtues can only be of two natures -- those conceived by God and those conceived by man. Virtue as conceived by God is nothing but Love, although it may be said to have the seed of all virtues. Passing through the mind-mesh it appears under all guises and activities and these are given names by man; and especially those he
likes he calls virtues, but all really arise from one activity and one essence. Until God is perceived as All-Embracing and as All-Qualities, the virtue man ascribes to God is nothing but the virtue he himself admires raised to an ideal, which ideal is not God even
in its highest aspect, so long as it is attached to name.
