The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Attitude forms a channel for an effort, and a right attitude makes a channel for a right effort. The world is the place of tests and trials. If one did not live in the world one would have no chance of doing good or bad; and even if one lived a very spiritual life in the wilderness it would do no good to anybody, not even to oneself; for one would not have gone through the tests and trials of the world. One can neither praise the life of a hermit, nor can one condemn it. If he is happy it is good. Everyone knows his own life, and if he is happy he will give happiness to others also. |
