The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The Sufi is convinced that the one who does not love his fellow-man cannot love God. He believes in what Christ has said, that one should love one's neighbor, even one's enemy. And what does this mean? It does not mean that we should love our enemy because we consider him as such, but because we are related to him in God. If humanity had believed in this simple and most valuable teaching, these wars would not have taken place. It is not for political or commercial people to make humanity understand this; it is for the Church, for religion; but as long as the religious authorities establish different sects and divide religion and look upon each other with prejudice, this truth taught by Christ will not be practiced.
