The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

To bring about this realization, the first thing that one must learn in every little thing in life is the way of unlearning. In my own work I find it very difficult when a person comes to me and says, "Now I have learned so far; will you add more to my knowledge?" In my heart I say, "The more you have learned, the harder it is for me; and if I wanted to add to it, it would not be adding; it would be taking away from what you have, in order that I may unburden you from all you have learned. You must be able to unlearn first, for through this unlearning will come the true learning."
