The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It seems that everything is running there, the elevators and the subway and motorcars, machines. It makes the nervous system of everybody in such a condition that everything must be done at once, they must not wait. Something which wants patience and tests man's patience all his life, that is the spiritual idea. It makes it difficult for them and for the spiritual teacher, because of lack of patience. Would you believe that after my first lecture, my own friends told me for my own good and welfare of the Message, "The last thing you have to say, you must say first." Imagine. What you might wait for six or ten years for the pupils to develop, to reach at, they want it at the first hearing. If you do not do it, you cannot make a success; if you do it, it goes above their heads, things which they cannot understand and that cannot do any good to them just the same.
