Bowl of Saki for July 11
DO NOT BEMOAN THE PAST, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE, BUT TRY TO MAKE THE BEST OF TODAY.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Paul said, "I die daily." By this one can escape karma, especially if the heart keeps serene in its attraction toward God. The past that is bemoaned, the past that is prided belongs to the ego, to the nufs, and becomes the source of further misery. Whether it gave joy in the
past or sorrow in the past, if it is carried along in the mind it will bring sorrow in the future.
Likewise, no thought should be attached to the future -- "Take no heed for the morrow," as Jesus has beautifully put it. Each day is our great opportunity, each hour, each breath. One cannot perform Darood with the mind far away in time or space.
