The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

According to one's evolution, one knows truth.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

That is to say, to the degree that one's heart opens one knows truth. Until this occurs, there may be knowledge of names and forms—this is not Truth. Until this occurs, one may be kind to everybody and have friends or disciples or happiness, but this is not Truth. All these are passing fancies whether of the seeming essence of knowledge or love. Until the mind-mesh is pierced and reality perceived, it is not Truth. Truth is above all worldly knowledge and morality. It is we ourselves who are of the nature of Truth, and not anything outside can be called Truth.
