The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

At the cost of one failure, the wise learn the lesson for the whole life.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

There is only one failure—heedlessness toward God. There are no other failures. We fail because we are blind or ignorant, and when we are sincere that which appeared to have been a failure will prove later to be a test which came to prepare us for a much greater success than we would have dreamed about when that experience arose.
