The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

For instance, there is a Christian belonging to this movement who thinks most of his religion and of his teacher; there is a Hebrew, perhaps thinking most of his religion and yet belonging to the Sufi movement; there is a Buddhist who also considers his religion most. Do you think we have any objection to it? Do we interfere with his ideal or with his devotion to his teacher? It would be as absurd as for a person to think that a child should think of the mother of another more than of his own. And who has the right to place the great teachers or the scriptures by comparison in such and such a place? No one. Our heart's devotion to the ideal we adore is that place where we can place our ideal. It is our affair; no one can interfere with it.
