The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

One must first create peace in oneself if one desires to see peace in the world; for lacking peace within, no effort of one's own can bring any result.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

One may begin with the simplest processes of body—how to keep the body well, fit, and strong. In this one can learn the law of harmony and the laws of breath. These same laws will enable one to understand and utilize the mind; they will also enable one to understand and harmonize with the minds and hearts of others. It is the combination of law, which is universal, and the awakening of love, which distinguishes no self, that brings peace to the individual, the group, or the cosmos.
