The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

By this prayer man is prepared to remove the obstacle which stands before the will of God. How can we distinguish between these two aspects of will: the will of God and the obstacle, which is the will of man? It is easy for a person with a clear mind and open heart to distinguish, if he only knew the secret of it. For to that which is the will of God his whole being responds, and in doing His will his whole being becomes satisfied. When it is his own will, then only one side of his being is satisfied perhaps for a certain time, and then comes a conflict in himself. He himself finds fault with his idea or action; he himself feels dissatisfied with his own being. The wider the scope in which he sees his idea or his action the more dissatisfied he will become.
