The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The first work of the Sufi Message can be done by thinking within oneself and finding in what way one can make oneself a better instrument every day and every hour of the day. And if the work makes one forget that, then no doubt in the end one will find greater and greater difficulty as one goes further. But if one finds within oneself the capability, the scope, the desire of working, and ever-growing enthusiasm and sympathy, then intuitively he will begin. But if he sees inwardly he will see it is a very large scope of work, he will begin to see a wide horizon of work before his eyes, and he will say that, "It is too large a horizon for me to work. " He will never say that it is a small scope of work to do. Even the smallest scope of work--which from outer understanding seems to be small--as soon as we have the inner understanding of the same it will be the largest work.
