The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Man has considered civilization to be that which the ancient Hindus termed Kali Yuga, or the Iron Age. What they called Krita Yuga, the Golden Age, man today calls barbarism, which shows how the heart of man has hardened.

  • At the present time a man's word is no longer his bond; a signed contract is needed.
  • A superficial politeness has taken the place of love,
  • and artificiality has taken the place of truth.
  • Machinery has usurped the place of personal bravery.
  • Religion and morality have been superseded by trade unions,
  • and material investigation has taken the place of life's realization.
  • Man can no longer distinguish the difference between a fleeting joy and an everlasting peace.
  • The objective world is so concrete before his eyes that he cannot see beyond it.
  • He wants to realize the material results of his efforts, even at the cost of his life, and the call of heaven itself fails to attract him to the Infinite.
