The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

Yes, teach your principles of good, but do not think to limit God within them. The goodness of each of us is peculiar to ourselves.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

Commentary from Hazrat Murshid SAM (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti, Samuel L. Lewis):

For what we call "good" comes from the favorable effects caused beneath the mind-mesh. Consequently, it is our name, our thought, and not the lasting Divine Thought that actually gives them life. God is the Essence of all Qualities and is not affected by our thought upon any quality.
