Bowl of Saqi for January 2
ALL NAMES AND FORMS ARE THE GARBS AND COVERS
UNDER WHICH THE ONE LIFE IS HIDDEN.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
This Universal Life penetrates all things. It has two
aspects, a rising and a falling, an expansion and a
contraction. Through the heating of expansion in Love the
Higher was formed; through the cooling of contraction in
Beauty the Lower or external was formed. The waves of
vibrations from these met and intermingled forming the
mind-mesh where light and darkness both are found. The
Universal Light falling between the meshes of mind upon the
outer sphere gave rise to the myriad of forms which have
been given names by man to distinguish them, but really the
Essence is one and the same. Who understands this
understands something of the Nature of Allah.
mind-mesh....
