Bowl of Saqi for February 5
MYSTICISM WITHOUT DEVOTION IS LIKE UNCOOKED FOOD;
IT CAN NEVER BE ASSIMILATED.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Mysticism means recognition of God. But how can one recognize
God until the heart is awakened? It is only when through the
fire of devotion and love that the whole life force is
returned to its source in fervor and contemplation that the
spiritual life can be experienced.

As an added note of interest, February 5th is the Urs of
Hazrat Pir-o-Mur****d Inayat Khan - the date of his passing
from this Earthly plane and of his rejoining with the Beloved.
He was only 44 years old at the time of his passing in 1927,
and it is amazing to realize the great breadth and depth
of the teachings he blessed us all with during the short
time he was here in this world.
