Bowl of Saki for October 28
THE PERSON FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF NAMES AND FORMS HAS NO CAPACITY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH. --Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
Mind is Heaven and Hell. The akasha or accommodation is not so different from the sky. Sky we see at day or night: in the day there is a single torch yet all illumination; in the night there are many lamps, yet darkness. Sky at night is like the mind replete with
knowledge of names and forms -- it is still in darkness -- while sky at day is like illuminated mind.
These two aspects have been called astral and buddhic, which are not so much conditions of mind but conditions related to mind. Astral world is the result of mind divided, and it is impossible for Sufis to contact who practice Darood and thus escape all delusion and all
snares. Buddhic condition indicates heart and mind coordinated making truth possible. Therefore Buddha has sometimes been regarded as a solar deity. This is true insofar as mind is concerned, but it is also true with respect to everyone of the rank of Rassoul.
Higher than this is the condition where there is neither day nor night.
