Bowl of Saki for March 31
EVEN TO UTTER THE NAME OF GOD IS A BLESSING THAT CAN FILL THE SOUL WITH LIGHT AND JOY AND HAPPINESS AS NOTHING ELSE CAN DO. ? Hazrat
Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
While this may be true, while there may be a great mantric value in repetition in thought and speech of any name for God, the merit is nothing compared to the reality one experiences as in Zikr. That is to say, this is not a karmic activity; it is not the piling up of some good for which one may receive a future reward, whether in or out of heaven.
In Zikr this blessing is actually what happens; therefore it is not to discuss why it happens but to know that it happens. But the great understanding comes from and through the living experience. Praising God is its own reward.
