Bowl of Saki for February 22
   

Life is an opportunity given to satisfy the hunger and thirst of the soul.

                        Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Quote
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan

And what is life? Life is an opportunity. To the optimistic person the opportunity is a promise, and for the pessimistic person this opportunity is lost. It is not that the Creator makes man lose it, but it is man who withdraws himself from the possibility of seizing the opportunity.

   from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/XIV/XIV_2_9.htm


If there is something that can be accomplished today, we need not wait for it to be accomplished tomorrow. For life is an opportunity, and desire has the greatest power, and perfection is the promise of the soul. We seek perfection, because perfection is the ultimate aim and the goal of creation. The source of all things is perfect. Our source is perfect, our goal is perfect. And therefore every atom of the universe is working towards perfection, and sooner or later it must arrive at perfection consciously. If it were not so, you would not have read in the Bible, 'Be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.'

   from  http://wahiduddin.net/mv2/I/I_IV_10.htm


Kabir, the great poet of India says, 'Life is a field and you are born to cultivate it. And if you know how to cultivate this field you can produce anything you like. All the need of your life can be produced in this field. All that your soul yearns after and all you need is to be got from the field, if you know how to cultivate it and how to reap the fruit.' But if this opportunity is only studied in order to make the best of life by taking all that one can take and by being more comfortable, that is not satisfying. We must enrich ourselves with thought, with that happiness which is spiritual happiness, with that peace which belongs to our soul, with that liberty, that freedom, for which our soul longs; and attain to that higher knowledge which breaks all the fetters of life and raises our consciousness to look at life from a different point of view. Once a person has realized this opportunity he has fulfilled the purpose of Life.

Here are the quotes about opportunity that you gave us Eric. Paramshansa Yogananda has a book out about India's poet
Kabir. Like Hazrat, he recognized the great spirituality in the poet Kabir.I see you requoted Kabir at the bottom. Comfort Iis not
satisfying. How many of us in the culture we live in actually realize this truth and continue our great opportunity?
