Bowl of Saqi for December 11
WHEN THE ARTIST LOSES HIMSELF IN HIS ART,
THEN THE ART COMES TO LIFE.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
By this means God created the world, and partly in imitation
of Allah it is wise to follow such a course. Metaphysically
speaking there is another explanation. Energy and magnetism
are imparted to us with breath. When the breath is used to
praise God or is returned to God with fervor and
remembrance, this increases the capacity for inspiration. In
every form of inspiration -- whether one understands it
spiritually or not -- all interest is focused in one's work.
Then the divine breath touches every ****tion of man's being
and this p***** into the form which the artist is shaping --
be he musician, poet, architect, artisan or any other molder
of beauty.
