The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

As one becomes more thoughtful in life, so this conception of "I" becomes richer. It becomes richer in this way, that one sees: "It is not "my" body only, but it is also the thought that I think which is "my" thought; the imagination is "my" imagination; my feelings are also a part of my being. Therefore I am not only my body, but I am my mind also." In this next step that the soul takes in the path of realization it begins to feel: "I am not only a physical body, but also a mind." This realization in its fullness makes one declare: "I am a spirit", which means: body, mind and feeling, all together with which I identify myself -- it is these which are the ego.
