Bowl of Saqi for December 15
BEHIND US ALL IS ONE SPIRIT AND ONE LIFE; HOW THEN
CAN WE BE HAPPY IF OUR NEIGHBOR IS NOT ALSO HAPPY?
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Happiness is the condition of the heart. Heart touches every
other heart. What is wished in the heart is wished for all
persons or is not wished. That is the test of wish in the
head or in the heart. Bodhisattva does not cease wi****ng;
rather Bodhisattva is for all humanity. This shows the
nature of heart, which cannot and does not discriminate.
Can the unhappiness of another dull one's spirit? No,
sympathy is not to let the shadow of another fall upon one's
being, it is to let one's light bring life to another.
Spiritual gifts must be shared or they will be taken away
from one, for they are for all of God's children and not for
a favored few.
