Bowl of Saki for March 8
YOU CANNOT BE BOTH HORSE AND RIDER AT THE SAME TIME. Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
You are either the positive or the negative, the teacher or the pupil, jelal or jemal, leader or follower. In another aspect, horse represents mind and rider will; either the mind overshadows will or will directs and controls mind. There are no alternatives. But when
one keeps in Darood and in unity with God, the part that they may play in the world does not matter. They may assume a seeming negativity, but their full, honest and real negativity is only toward God and His Messengers. Toward all the rest of the world, inwardly they keep a positive atmosphere and attitude when they know, a negative when they do not know.

Comments on this journal
Murshid says to retrieve the knowledge that is innate in each and every one human being, the oneness with God, as it is done through Zikr, the remembrance of Allah, la illaha ilallah. How: through the heart.
All the surrendering is to Allah (the real negativity is only toward God and His Messengers).
From that place of consciousness you have all freedom, but again one or the other, positive or negative, jelal or jemal, not both at the same time.

Does that, by association, mean that the best mind will - by its very nature - align with the heart?
