Bowl of Saki for October 31
EARTHLY KNOWLEDGE IS AS CLOUDS DIMMING THE SIGHT, AND IT IS THE BREAKING OF THESE CLOUDS -- IN OTHER WORDS, PURITY OF HEART -- THAT GIVES THE CAPACITY FOR THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD TO RISE.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
*Sight* is more powerful than the sight, more subtle than mind. This is insight, which is to say, the sight of the soul independent of its vehicles. In the sphere of matter, it is necessary to become accustomed to a light more dim, the very dimness of which beclouds the mind and keeps it in a sort of haze.
It is oneness of purpose, oneness of character and the freeing of mind from its subserviency to matter which take it from this condition. Purity of body means body as body, purity of mind means mind as mind. purity of heart means heart as heart. The body has its music and its laws, the mind has its music and its laws and while
heart is greater than any law, it still has its music. Therefore spiritual development is an attunement; yet strange and marvelous to tell, this attunement brings with it all knowledge of all planes.
