The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

Misbelief alone misleads; single-mindedness always leads to the goal.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

By misbelief is not meant wrong belief. Any human belief can be called right and any belief can be called wrong. Misbelief therefore does not mean wrong belief but belief that does not carry itself through clearly to the subject of the belief. That is because even when thoroughly believing, mind entertains an unconscious doubt or insufficient knowledge.

A strong concentration throws ample light on the belief and rights it. That is to say, it permits the Light of God's Intelligence to fall upon it. This enables one to hold or express beliefs or opinions which are in harmony with Cosmic Truth, that is to say, with the Will of God.
