Bowl of Saki for July 10
IT IS THE LOVER OF GOD WHOSE HEART IS FILLED WITH DEVOTION, WHO CAN COMMUNE WITH GOD, NOT ONE WHO MAKES AN EFFORT WITH HIS INTELLECT TO
ANALYZE GOD.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
All above the mind-mesh escapes analysis. Only what the mind can grasp and pull below can be subjected to such a process. It is like a fish pulling some substance from the surface into the depths. The fish could only understand what it has grasped, and the rest of the
substance would escape its comprehension. So it is with Life and Truth. What the mind grasps is such a small portion of what really exists that unassisted mind can never unveil the mysteries. Yet when illumination comes through the awakening of heart, all things may be clear before the mind.
For this, no effort is necessary other than love, than self-
surrender, than devotion, than throwing aside all these clinging thoughts. But you cannot tell the mind to love in a lesson nor the heart to love through a persuasive talk or talisman. The heart must love because it must love.
