The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

One often hears people say, "I once had deep feeling but that feeling is all gone, it is lost. Now I have no more feeling." That really means that something in them has died. They do not know it, but something of great importance has died as a result of their being affectionate, loving, kind. Perhaps they have met with the bad qualities of human nature and have become disappointed; and so the feeling heart has taken the bowl of poison and died. There are others who out of self-righteousness or keen perception of human defects, out of their critical tendency, begin to hate before they can love someone, letting hate come first and giving love no chance. |
