The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

It is according to the extent of our consciousness of prayer that our prayer reaches God.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

Average people are dependent upon mind, and even though they may be devotees, they cannot pierce the mind-mesh. As soon as one views life from the aspect of the relative non-reality of personality, all life and love enter the prayer. Then prayer becomes Ishk and mounts to the throne of God.
