Bowl of Saki for March 14
GOD IS TRUTH; AND TRUTH IS GOD.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
There are just two ways to discuss this matter, the very nature and essence of which is really beyond discussion. From one point of view, the process of apprehension of truth is in the first place a living heart awakening and growth. Even then the reality of completion comes
only after the heart is fully awakened, and the self explored. Word, form, thought, symbolism, effect or explanation can but point to a sort of *Neti*, as the Hindus describe it; that is to say, truth is depicted as being something different from anything and everything
which can be depicted.
But from the metaphysical point of view, theosophically expressed, Truth is all which is called *Rupa* and *Arupa* -- all in name and form and all without name and form in the state and stage of Absolute Unity, a Unity which while being Unity includes every degree and variety of complexity. So it is not only the life above
the mind-mesh, it is the realization that this life beyond the mental, called Buddhic, includes also every sort of condition, actual and potential, so that all Heaven and Hell appear as part of one's being. This cannot be discussed, as it is clouded by every process except the highest forms of meditation and contemplation.
