Bowl of Saqi for February 7
THE WISE MAN, BY STUDYING NATURE, ENTERS INTO UNITY
THROUGH ITS VARIETY, AND REALIZES THE PERSONALITY OF GOD
BY SACRIFICING HIS OWN.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
It should not be supposed that Allah has not a physical
body. All nature, all the physical world, constitutes this
body just as all the mental world constitutes the sheath of
His Mind.
Man cannot so easily see the inside of his body, cognizing
the various activities going on in the organs and cells, in
the nerves and blood stream. In some mysterious way these
constitute a unity, but the unity is fundamental to their
existence.
Similarly, all the functions and species of nature are
dependent upon a cosmic unity, which is reflected in them
and is causal to them, but which does not consist of them.
To understand this more fully, man must find out God's Mind
in order to understand God's Body. This can only be done
when his own mind, and so his own personality, is left
behind in his spiritual unfoldment.
