Let one say, "What would God have me say, what would God have me think, what would God have me do?" But even this is unnecessary for there is always a feeling of ease if not of joy, when one practices Darood -- to harmonize all action, speech, and thought with the breath. This is easy, simple, and sufficient, and for it no knowledge of metaphysics is necessary. <blockquote> Commentary on The Bowl of Saki of Hazrat Inayat Khan by Murshid Sufi Ahmed Murad Chishti (c) 1978 Sufi Ruhaniat International, 410 Precita Avenue, San Francisco CA 94110 </blockquote>   </td><tr> </table>
