The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Create a Bookmark

A desire for name and many followers, a leaning upon the group of the faithful, a tendency for argument and discussion are most to be avoided for a Sufi. A simple abode in solitude and as few things to go through life as possible and most simple food which could be served among any number that may be present at the time, is necessary. The life of seclusion, silence, abstinence, and a less tendency for all earthly comforts is desirable. Charity, independence, forgiveness, indifference, tolerance and detachment are most useful attributes. Resignation to the will of God with fasting and contentment together with a continuous stream of love and a constant vision of God are the qualities most necessary during his journey towards the goal. An impartial justice, a sense of harmony and a real inclination for peace are the qualities necessary for the traveller on this path.
