The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

When love's fire produces its flame, it illuminates like a torch the devotee's path in life, and all darkness vanishes.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

This is not something to be understood by material events or physical or mental reflection. It is a natural condition and Sufis attain to it through practice of Zikr. Zikr collects the atoms and arranges them in such a way that the atoms send out their sparks of vibrations and so increase the energy within and around one. It is a natural process, and what affects these atoms also in time affects the atoms and cells of the body and in turn these benefit the mind and heart. Great are the wonders of Zikr discernible only to the Zakir.
