The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

As the light of the sun helps the plant to grow, so the divine Spirit helps the soul towards its perfection.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

Light has three aspects which have formed the phenomenon of sun in the physical, mental, and spiritual worlds respectively. In the physical world, the sun promotes the growth of plants as well as of animals and humans. In the mental world, the sun helps to increase the intellectual power of animals and humans. In the spiritual world, the sun awakens the heart by the process of sympathy and attunement, a principle found operating in the radio and in general where there are the so-called sympathetic vibrations of any kind.
