The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There are two powers: one is called in Sufi terms Kaza and the other Kadr. One is individual power and the other is God's power. The individual power can work and can accomplish things as long as it is working in consonance with God's power, but the moment the individual power works contrary to God's power the man begins to realize that his strength is diminishing, that he cannot accomplish anything. Therefore the first thing that masters seek is the pleasure of God, to be in consonance with the will of God. And just as a person who has practiced a gambling game or any kind of sport has learnt the way in which to practice it, so the man who has it continually in mind to do everything in consonance with God's power is helped by the will of God.
