Bowl of Saki for July 5
WHATEVER THEIR FAITH, THE WISE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO MEET EACH OTHER BEYOND THOSE BOUNDARIES OF EXTERNAL FORMS AND CONVENTIONS
WHICH ARE NATURAL AND NECESSARY TO HUMAN LIFE BUT WHICH NONE-THE-LESS SEPARATE
HUMANITY.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
The truth of this, which is deeper than the historical or
philosophical view, is that once the heart is open it can contact every other heart. There are not two sets of intuitions which conflict with each other. When the heart conveys an impression, it cannot be contrary to the impression carried to another heart, and when one has arrived at the state of heart-culture, all the hearts in the world are open to it.
This is the natural condition in Djabrut, but those who, because of their spiritual development upon earth, have recovered the faculties of angel and jinn (which are natural for those traveling on the path to God) can contact one another beyond space, beyond language, beyond mundane communication.
They can even go further. Able to penetrate the hearts of men, they do not act or speak contrary to the beliefs of those around them except, perhaps, to carry them a step forward in their belief toward realization.

Jabarut:
In Sufi terms, there are five stages of consciousness: Nasut, Malakut, Jabarut, Lahut, Hahut.
malakut: the "central field of activity" of the Master's Presence
