Bowl of Saki for November 21, 2006
Bowl of Saki for November 21
THE WAVE IS THE SEA ITSELF; YET WHEN IT RISES IN THE FORM OF A WAVE, IT IS THE WAVE, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE OF IT, IT IS THE SEA.-
- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Soul, forming a center in the Universal Light, produces heart. In heart soul sees directly, thus producing Universal Intelligence. But as God has produced matter outside the realm of absolute intelligence yet impregnated with Universal Intelligence, the soul --
to experience it -- must produce a vehicle capable of apprehending it. So the Light-Intelligence is agitated and the waves on its surface produce mind.
Mind being made up of coarser vibrations than heart can look directly upon matter and see it as matter. Heart may perceive matter but would not distinguish matter from spirit because heart does not distinguish. So mind sees all these differences, but when one wishes to look beyond the differences one must see with the heart. When one further wishes to become that which one sees, one enters upon the soul-life. Then sight, seer and seen are all one.
