The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Create a Bookmark

Crime is natural. If crime were not natural, from where would it come? All men are subject to fault; their very virtues develop into faults. The great teacher has therefore taught patience, which means to be patient, and not to expect patience. He has taught respect, which means to show respect, not to demand it. He has taught unselfishness, which means to be unselfish without expecting a reward. The great teacher has found his religion in his study of life, and has shown the interdependence of human lives; and that what a man gives, that he receives. He has taught man to lift his light upon high, so that he may live in light; in that light which is never extinguished in man although usually kept under a covering cloud or a bushel of selfishness and greed, so that its owner lives in a darkened room.
