The Bowl of Saki Commentary

You are either the positive pole or the negative pole, the teacher or the pupil, jelal or jemal, leader or follower. In another aspect, horse represents mind and rider will; either the mind overshadows will or will directs and controls mind. There are no alternatives. But when one keeps in Darood and in unity with God, the part that one may play in the world does not matter. One may assume a seeming negativity, but one's full, honest, and real negativity is only toward God and God's Messengers. Toward all the rest of the world, inwardly one keeps a positive atmosphere and attitude when one knows and a negative (or receptive) one when one does not know.
