Bowl of Saqi for December 4
THE WISE PERSON SUBMITS TO CONDITIONS WHEN HE IS HELPLESS,
BOWING TO THE WILL OF GOD. BUT THE EVIL THAT IS AVOIDABLE
HE ROOTS OUT WITHOUT SPARING ONE SINGLE MOMENT OR EFFORT.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Wise control of breath keeps the mind from lingering upon
destructive thought. All destruction in the world is not
evil, for sometimes it is necessary for the sake of all
mankind or for the sake of earth itself. That is why there
may be floods and droughts and even famine and pestilence.
These universal conditions are the results of universal
corruption.
But when the wise person is called upon to oppose evil he
does this immediately, with all heart and mind, calling
forth the power of God to work righteousness.
