The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When people argue after reading the life of one Rasul whom they consider their own, or of the Rasul of other people, the adept is not interested in this dispute; for to him it is like two artists who have made a portrait of the same person and argue saying, "Your conception is wrong, my conception is right," or, "My picture is better than yours," whereas an adept looks at the picture and says, "It is his conception." One artist may have painted Dante in one form, another paints him in a different way, but if there is a dispute about which is the real portrait of Dante, the one who has understanding will say that each is a different conception. Perhaps one appeals to one person, while another appeals to another person.
