The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

A mureed has to journey from the human plane to the animal plane which he shows by his strength and power which he absorbs from the sphere. He feels much more vitality and experiences perfect health. He is naturally more inclined toward all material activities. A slight cause of annoyance causes him irritation and anger. He is ready to fight for what he considers true. Then he becomes like a herbivorous animal, he serves another like a horse or a camel, not asking by what right he is controlled, and then grows even like a sheep or a goat, living in a herd, hanging his head down by the weight of his thought, ready at any time to be sacrificed for the benefit of another. He then develops a bird-like nature and floats in the spheres of imagination quite unconscious of the earth and its surroundings.
