The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

All gains, whether material, spiritual, moral or mystical, are in answer to one's own character.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

For either they come through the operation of karmic law wherein one attracts or repels because of one's nature, or else they come because of the Grace of God which, although ever-present, is not accepted until the self is laid aside. This is the perfuming of character.
