WE BLAME OTHERS FOR OUR SORROWS AND MISFORTUNES, NOT PERCEIVING THAT WE OURSELVES ARE CREATORS OF OUR WORLD.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
This comes from habit, a habit we cannot readily blame in others for it is the way of the world. At the same time, when one overcomes such a habit it is often to fall subject to blame at the hands of others without ever blaming others. This the Sufis call the path of Malamat or blame. It is the limited outlook of nufs which causes all difficulties.
Events of themselves are neither good nor evil. It is the light which makes day and the darkness which causes night, and this is also true of the affairs of life -- that when the mind is illumined there is no longer anything which can be called evil. What is usually termed evil is due to the ignorant sway of the nufs; for it is ignorance
which is the source of selfishness, which in turn creates all disharmonies and evils in the world. The world does not create them, the false self molds them out of the world.
