The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

  1. One motive is what they call Dharma, which means duty. Some consider that virtue lies in performing their duty, and when they perform the particular duty which is before them, they feel that this is the due accomplishment of their life. But when one duty is accomplished another is waiting; life is full of duties. When a girl is young she says that her mother or her father is her duty; then a time comes when the pleasure of her husband becomes her duty, and as time goes on hers will be the duty of the mother towards her children. But even there it does not end; afterwards comes the duty of the grandmother. There is no phase of life in which duty expires; it begins in one form and goes on in another.
