Bowl of Saqi for November 21
THE WAVE IS THE SEA ITSELF; YET WHEN IT RISES IN THE FORM OF A WAVE,
IT IS THE WAVE, AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WHOLE OF IT, IT IS THE SEA.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Soul, forming a center in the Universal Light, produces heart.
In heart soul sees directly, thus producing Universal
Intelligence. But as God has produced matter outside the realm
of absolute intelligence yet impregnated with Universal
Intelligence, the soul -- to experience it -- must produce a
vehicle capable of apprehending it. So the Light-Intelligence
is agitated and the waves on its surface produce mind.
Mind being made up of coarser vibrations than heart can look
directly upon matter and see it as matter. Heart may perceive
matter but would not distinguish matter from spirit because
heart does not distinguish. So mind sees all these
differences, but when one wishes to look beyond the
differences one must see with the heart. When one further
wishes to become that which one sees, one enters upon the
soul-life. Then sight, seer and seen are all one.
