Bowl of Saki for November 20
IT IS THE SOUL'S LIGHT WHICH IS THE NATURAL INTELLIGENCE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
What is called *Nur* is the Universal Light which touches every part of the universe. Without this Light there would be no universe: it is the aspect of Ishk which we call Intelligence because it becomes the light of the Mind. Although Ishk is all light, it is Oneness: in it there is no Mind although there is *Buddha-citta*, the essence of Mind. By an accommodation in the Supreme the light produces forms, but these forms are made out of the vibrations of the light-self. Then the light appears within these forms and enables them to perceive phenomena.
It is, however, the soul which sees, whether through an individual -- be that individual rock, plant, animal, man or planet -- or whether it be the sight of body, mind or heart.
