The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

And the fifth aspect of our duty is to God, our Creator, Sustainer, and the Forgiver of our shortcomings. One might say, "We have not desired to come here; why were we sent here?" But it is said in a moment of disturbance of mind. If the mind is still, if a person shows good sense he will say, "Even if there were nothing else given to me in life, to be allowed to live under the sun is the greatest privilege." One says, "I toil and I earn money, and that is my living which I make. Who is to be given credit for it?" But it is not the money we eat; what we eat is not made in the bank. It is made by the sun and the moon and the stars and the earth and water, by nature which is living before us. If we had not air to breathe, we should die in a moment.
