The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

If you say, "I have love for Buddha, but he did not believe in the soul and I do not like that, and he did this and that," such is not love or devotion. Keep the devotion for the ideal, with his disbelief in the soul and all! From this man rises to the degree of fana-fi-Rasul, devotion for the unseen ideal, for the holiness, the goodness, the kindness of the being whom he has not seen. It is your idealization which produces in you the ideal. Buddha's body is lost in the earth long ago. You have made the Buddha.
