The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

Belief and disbelief have divided humankind into so many sects, blinding our eyes to the vision of the oneness of all life.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

Belief and disbelief are products of the finite mind, born of the manasic akasha, or mental field of accommodation. Disbelief is only a variation of belief according to a limited view, but the essence of belief and disbelief is the same. Yet belief, if founded on love or felt with love, can bring about the awakening of heart; this will free one from belief and disbelief both, bringing one to the gates of knowledge.
