When I speak of Transcendental Recollection, I am referring, in part, to an attitude of prayer or meditation that gives us an openness to our spiritual origin and destiny. This openness, when rightly cultivated, will lead to an intution of the Divine that has been called the wine of Christ...


"The mystic desires that which Omar Khayyam calls wine, the wine of Christ, after drinking which, no one will ever thirst." 


       Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan


In the New Testament, this wine is referred to as Living Water. Jesus says to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well:

"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:14).
