The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is in the ennobling of the soul that spirituality lies, not in a mere show of spirituality; and nobleness of the soul is realized in the feeling of selflessness. Whatever be a man's rank or position, if he shows selflessness in life he is truly noble. The spiritual nobility is the real aristocracy, for it expresses itself in democracy. In a really spiritual person aristocracy and democracy are one, for these ideals, which both have their spiritual beauty, are summed up in the one spirit of nobleness. A youth must be taught that it is not becoming angelic which shows spirituality; it is becoming human which is the true sign of the spiritual man.
