The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

Love is the essence of all religion, mysticism, and philosophy.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

What is religion? It is our relation to God. What is mysticism? It is our realization of God. What is philosophy? It is our consideration of God. But what connects us with God and God with us? It is the Love-Light-Life described as Logos. As soon as any speech, thought, or feeling connects us with God, some of this Universal Energy touches another or returns to God. This connecting nexus is the very elixir of Love.
