The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Once I was very amused and surprised at an answer that a very godly and good natured maid gave me. Working in the house, she could not answer a knock at the door as quickly as it should have been answered, and the lady visitor who was waiting at the door became very impatient and spoke crossly to the maid. When I asked her what had happened, she was not cross at all. She smiled and said: "Yes, yes, that lady was very cross with me." I asked: "Well, what was the matter with her, what made her cross, what was the reason?", and this maid, with innocence in her face, replied: "The reason? There was no God." A beautiful answer. Where God is lacking, there is no love. Wherever there is love, there is God. Wherever there is God, there is love.
