The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Where does the Sufi learn this? He learns it from the wisdom of God. The man who does not recognize God in His creation will never recognize the God in heaven. It was all right for those simple believers in God and religion who went quietly to church and said their prayers, and came back with a feeling of exaltation and did not meddle with the world. But now conditions have changed, and a great battle is going on between truth and life. The illusion of matter lies in the fullness of the part it is performing in life, that is why the battle that life is fighting with truth is greater than any that religion has ever had to fight. On one side science cries: matter, matter, matter! On the other side politics are crying: self, self, self-interest! The religions are crying: sect, sect, sect! And where can man stop to think of the ultimate truth, which is the only thing that the soul seeks?
