The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

When the mind and body are restless, nothing in life can be accomplished. Success is the result of control.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

This control is in two parts: first, the practice of Darood, including all spiritual exercises by which one voluntarily assumes control over mind and body; second, the activating of heart by which all success and all attainments come to one. This is the positive spiritual life, which is broader than the ordinary life and which is not a negation but a more complete condition.
