The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Everything in the world that has a name is imaginable; the one and only Being the imagination cannot reach is God. And yet as God is manifested in all things and in all beings, so in all things and in all beings there is always a part which is unimaginable. That itself is the proof that God is not only a separate God beyond comprehension, but God is all and all is God. Man can reach God only as far as his imagination can take him. But the most sensible thing man can do in the pursuit of God is to humble himself and bend in all humility and say, "Thou art farther than I can ever reach, and all I can do is to accept Thee in all humility." The one who, by understanding the idea of God in man, claims, "I am God," besides all errors deprives himself of the great beauty of journeying from man to God.
