The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The teaching of Christ when he said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit" is little understood. He does not mean poor in divine spirit, but poor in this self-created spirit. Those who are poor in this self-created spirit are rich in divine spirit, and those who are rich in divine spirit are poor in this self-created spirit. The word which is used in the scriptures for nafs is that spirit of grossness-or spirit-but the better word is ego.
