The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The thought comes, "If I were God, I would say, Let a million dollars come, and a million dollars would come. I would say to this house, Fall down, and it would fall down. I am not God." This illusion comes. Then the thought comes, "Thou art God and I am man. Thou art different and I am different." But the thought comes, "Something there is in me, I do not desire subordination, I desire freedom, I desire perfection. I desire to have all my wishes fulfilled.'' Then he realizes, that "I am in the cage." When this wisdom has come, then the princess, however charming she is, however great her attractions are, does not please him. He runs from her, that is: he renounces.
