Bowl of Saki - Free Daily Email Subscription
What is it??
The Bowl of Saki is a daily non-sectarian inspirational
message from Inayat
Khan, an awe-inspiring spiritual leader from India who
brought a timeless message of Love, Harmony and Beauty to
the Western world in the early 1900's, a message which helps
us to become more acutely aware of the precious spark of divinity within
ourselves and within all of creation.
These messages are not about any new religion, they are simply
reminders of the same glorious ideals that have been given to
us by the great prophets and teachers through the ages.
What will it look like??
If your email viewer displays images, then the daily email

The realization that the whole life must be "give and take" is the realization of the spiritual truth and the fact of true democracy; not until this spirit is formed in the individual can the whole world be elevated to the higher grade.

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
A child should know the moral of give and take; it must know that it should give to others what it wishes to receive from them. The great fault of humanity today is that everyone seeks to get the better of others, by which one is often caught in one's own net.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/III/III_I_5.htm
The mystic learns ... that life is give and take. It is not only that one receives what one gives, but also one gives what one receives. In this way the mystic begins to see the balance of life. He realizes that life is a balance, and if the gain or loss, the joy or pain of one outweighs that of another, it is for the moment, but in time it all sums up in a balance, and without balance there is no existence possible.
from http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIII/XIII_5.htm
Real spiritual democracy we see in Jesus Christ. According to their law the Jews [a few theologians and Pharisees] wished to accuse the people who had sinned, but he told them to let him who had never sinned throw the first stone. That was the outlook of democracy. In that, Christ suggested that human nature was everywhere. ... However humble and low a person may be in occupation and evolution, we are none the less interdependent and require his help and service as he needs ours. However much wealth or power or rank we possess, we still depend upon the humblest and poorest person in the world. The realization that the whole of life must be give and take, is the realization of the spiritual truth and the fact of true democracy. Not until this spirit is formed in the individual himself can the whole world be raised to a higher grade of evolution.
