The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

You cannot expect all people to be just. When they are children, how can we expect them to behave as grown-ups? You cannot expect all kinds of fruit to ripen at once; it takes time, but in time they will all become sweet. So wait patiently, and it will become plain to them in time. Why blame others when they are not up to your ideal? How can a disagreeable person be agreeable if his evolution prevents him from being otherwise and wisdom does not permit him to act differently? Help him in whatever way you can, without expecting him to be different. Why should you ruin your own life over it? Your own life is very precious. When you do not worry about others, or judge them, you can meditate, think, be silent, and at the same time be serviceable to the world. There is plenty in our own selves to judge, enough to keep us fully occupied all our life long!
