The Bowl of Saki Commentary

Commentary for:

It is the depth of thought that is powerful, and sincerity of feeling which creates atmosphere.

— Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

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

The judgment of average people is based upon their own individual experience; the judgment of the wise is based upon the universal human experience. As one cannot tell what this universal experience is through the limited mind, one feels through impression by an inner attunement what this conclusion should be. So the heart tells one what the mind can never know off-hand, but which the mind may immediately grasp thereupon.

To keep the thought pure, therefore, the heart must be kept pure. Through concentration and meditation on unity in love the heart is purified and radiates its condition to all the world.
