The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Mankind has a tendency to consider all that is pleasant to be from the mercy of God, and all that is unpleasant, either from the wrath of God or not from God at all, thinking: "God is just and merciful." Really speaking, under all pleasant and unpleasant experiences in life, there is God's goodness and mercy and justice hidden. We call things "unjust" when we cannot see their justice; things are unpleasant to us when the standard of our pleasure is limited; things appear unmerciful to us when we restrict mercy in limitations. But sometimes things that do not seem to us just are just in their real nature; things unmerciful many times have mercy hidden behind them. Therefore, all that comes from God the Sufi takes with resignation, seeing and recognizing in it His mercy, goodness, and justice.
