The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It seems that what science realizes in the end, mysticism reaches from the beginning. This accords with the saying of Christ: "First seek ye the Kingdom of God and all will be added." When one hears of the present discoveries about sound and color on the scientific side, one begins by being surprised. One says: "What a new discovery! Something we have never heard of. It is something quite new." And yet, when you open the Bible there it says: "First was the word, and the word was God." And if you open still older scriptures of the Vedanta, you read in their verses that in the Creator there was that word, or that vibration. When we come to the Qur'an we read: that first there was the word "Be", and then there became.
