The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

While some blame another for causing them harm, the wise first take themselves to task.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

For the harmony of the wise can control even the world. To be a Nabi, one must relate every activity of the world to oneself and by one's control over oneself regulate or control the whole earth outside oneself. This is quite possible when one with heart surrendered to God undertakes to serve humanity without thought of self, refusing ever to discriminate between self and another, between self and non-self.
