Bowl of Saqi for December 5
ENVIABLE IS HE WHO LOVETH AND ASKETH NO RETURN.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
It is only heart which can heal heart. When heart depends
upon other than heart, heart has still to learn. The Sufi
system of spiritual dependence upon a teacher is found upon
this principle, that when one's heart is not open, it can be
awakened either by complete attunement with one whose heart
is already opened or who is attuning himself to one whose
heart is opened.
There is no asking or seeking in love -- or giving or
taking. The natural condition of heart is this: that when
it loves others it feeds itself and when it feeds itself it
shares with all others. This explains the mysteries of the
loaves and fishes of the Bible. Loaves are the Divine
Knowledge and the fishes symbolize the breath. No matter
how much the Divine Knowledge is given away, it is not
diminished; rather the more one shares with another, the
more one benefits therefrom.
