The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

To learn the lesson of how to live is more important than any psychic or occult knowledge.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

Transcendental knowledge which is confined to the universe of limitation is subject to limitation. The knowledge of the psychic realm may take one beyond earth, but it does not take one to God. The knowledge of the mental and psychic and physical may seem to be without limit, yet it is nothing compared to the knowledge which transcends these spheres. Even all the heart can give as heart alone, separated from the pure stream of life, even that, which appears unlimited to the intellectual, even that is nothing to the comprehension of life itself which comes through self-sacrifice, through union with the source of all things and thoughts.
