The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

As life unfolds itself to one, the first lesson one learns is humility.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

This living unfoldment is a process, not an accomplishment. It does not come from book learning or prayer or asceticism or from change in regimen or vain breathing exercises. It comes only through the grasping of life. And how is life grasped? It is either through actual pain and suffering, or worldly experience, or inner awakening through the Grace of God, as in meditation and Zikr.
