The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There comes a time after we have continually practiced the virtue of not judging, when we see the reason behind every fault we notice in anyone we meet. Then we become more tolerant, more forgiving. When a person who is ill makes a fuss by moaning and wailing, it disturbs us at first. We say how wrong it is, how annoying, what a bad nature he has. But the understanding of the reason behind it, that it is not his bad nature but the illness, will make us more tolerant; when we see no reason it makes us only severe with that person, but blind to the light of God, blind to that forgiveness, that unique essence of God which can be found in the human heart.
