Bowl of Saki for February 15

THE UNIVERSE IS LIKE A DOME; IT VIBRATES TO THAT WHICH YOU SAY IN IT, AND ANSWERS THE SAME BACK TO YOU; SO ALSO IS THE LAW OF ACTION, WE REAP WHAT WE SOW. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:

Mankind was placed in an enclosure where he was given full command over everything within. This is in the story of Adam. But to regain Eden he has to work out his destiny. For this purpose he was given the faculty of knowledge over name and form. Having this faculty he is responsible for his use or misuse of it.

But within certain limits there is the law of the equality of action and reaction. This means that if we suffer without doing evil, in time this will lead to compensation; while if we seem to escape punishment, we are only preparing a greater blow for ourselves. The effect of Karma is escaped by speaking, thinking and acting in the name of God. Through the spiritual practices, man rises to wisdom above knowledge and suffering.
