The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

We are the picture of the reflection of our imagination; we are as large or as small as we think ourselves.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

So long as our thought is centered around our concept of a limited self, we are limited by the power of thought; when we rise to the fullness of life in the Cosmic Unity, finding that God Alone is and is the True Self, we are no longer limited. And what was it that limited us? It was nothing but our own thought. Just as thought can obtain all knowledge of matter, so can spirit gain all knowledge of thought, and so can God-attainment give all knowledge of spirit.
