Bowl of Saki for January 5

NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD AND LIVED.  TO SEE GOD WE MUST BE NON-EXISTENT. --Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:

It is the human mind which determines the existence of man. When man rises above the mind-mesh, existence continues but man does not. That is to say, the life in God is the non-existence of human life. So long as we exist as self we remain below the mind-mesh; in the life above the mind-mesh there is no self as we understand it.
