The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There was a young man in Indian history, whose name was Shivaji, and whose story is an example of this first aspect of ideal. He began his life by living on robbery, and one day he came into the presence of a sage, to ask his blessing for success in his robbery. The sage saw in his face, in his eyes, in his voice that here was a real jewel, that there was an ideal in him, although not yet awakened. The sage asked him, "How many men have you in your gang?" He said, "No one. I work alone." The sage said, "It is a pity. You must form a small band and keep together."
