Bowl of Saki for November 2
IT IS A PATIENT PURSUIT TO BRING WATER FROM THE DEPTH OF THE GROUND; ONE HAS TO DEAL WITH MUCH MUD IN DIGGING BEFORE ONE REACHES THE WATER OF LIFE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
What is this mud? It is the impure thought of man, due from the habit of mind being so dependent upon matter and form. Mind may act independent of all these forms, receiving its knowledge from essence. When the intuitive faculty is aroused, one can know all about the earthly conditions and find it possible to improve these
conditions, whether directly connected with oneself or pertaining to the world at large.
Purity of thought means to let God do one's thinking, to keep whole-heartedly in devotion to God, which brings all knowledge. So long as one places any value upon one's intellect, one's memory, one's experiences, one cannot reach the highest state. These form the mud and clouds and phantasms of life.
