Bowl of Saqi for January 7
THE ONLY POWER FOR THE MYSTIC
IS THE POWER OF LOVE.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
This has two explanations: There is one Power in the
Universe, and that Power is Love. This one Power is that
Universal Energy which we have been calling Life or Light.
This is a naming of it, it is not a description of it. It is
this same Power which gave rise to the Universe producing
the positive and negative vibrations and atoms which
directly or indirectly gave rise to all planes and all forms.
Now what is or was this Power? It is the Power which comes
from letting go, from losing the self, the Power which
arises from non-attachment to personality. And what is that
Power? It is nothing but Love. God so loved, that He
created, and He so loved the world that He had created that
He permitted His Power to appear in fullness in a human
being. This is the mystery of Christhood. That gave all men
the op****tunity first to witness, and then through example
to attain to, the fullness of this Power of Love while in
the human body in the physical world. This was the very
purpose of creation.
