Bowl of Saki for March 7
IT IS A FALSE LOVE THAT DOES NOT UPROOT ONE'S CLAIM OF "I"; THE FIRST AND LAST LESSON OF LOVE IS "I AM NOT."-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by -- Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
This is difficult of expression for love is above all expression. The nature of love is light, expansiveness, brightness, beauty, life itself. Thoughts, words, descriptions of any kind, arising from activity below the mind-mesh, can in no way describe the illimitable.
The thought of self, any expression of selfhood, arises from name and form which are the shadows of reality. These names and forms can only be expressed by the marks they make, their essence remains hidden.
True love expresses itself in life, in atmosphere, in feeling, in heart qualities, in unselfishness; these are its characteristics which are removed from both affirmation and negation. It is life that lives, and love is life itself.
