Bowl of Saki for February 25

HE WHO HAS FAILED HIMSELF HAS FAILED ALL; HE WHO HAS CONQUERED HIMSELF HAS WON ALL. -- Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:

Failure is due to the domination of the false self. It alone puts out the thought of failure, of weakness, of limitation. It is not capable of sustaining concentration or effort. When one has controlled this self and its passions, and especially when one has performed the spiritual practices which link one to God, the True Self, one has conquered this false lower self.
