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 which have been
offered to us through the great prophets and teachers of all
eras.

Your daily email
will look something like this:
Every purpose has a birth and death; therefore, God is beyond purpose.
Bowl of Saki, July 26, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Then again it may be said, there is a purpose above each purpose, and there is again a purpose under each purpose; and yet beyond and beneath all purposes there is no purpose.
That which we call composition and decomposition and construction and destruction of things, all those are due to change, one thing turning into another. There is no such thing as death or real decomposition or destruction. It may be destruction of that particular object, but although that part which appeared in certain form or color has changed, it is not the true elements of the thing which have changed. Therefore birth and death, composing and decomposing form the constant changes in the appearance of things of life.
The difference between the life known to the generality and the life which is unknown is that of illusion and reality. Man mocks at the idea if he be told that all this is illusion, until he dives deep and finds out by comparison that this life which is subject to birth and death and subject to changes is a life and yet no life. This life is like a drop of water in the sea. The drop is existent and yet in reality non-existent when compared with the sea. And yet we cannot say that the drop of water is non-existent, for it merges in the same sea in which it once appeared; so nothing takes it away but its own source and its original being.
~~~ Every purpose has a birth and death; therefore, God is beyond purpose.
