The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

I have known a child to ask me, "Why must one kneel down, why must one prostrate oneself when they say that God is above?" and another to say, "Why must there be one direction in which a person should look in order to worship, why should not all directions be equally good for worship?' Many grown-up people have the fixed idea that they must perform their worship in a certain direction and not in any other, and never once in their lives have they asked themselves why. One will find grown-up people who have perhaps worshipped kneeling down all their life, and have never asked themselves why they should kneel down on the earth when they are supposed to worship God in the heavens.
