The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Create a Bookmark

The method of the Sufi consists in this:

  • That the Sufi unites with one's innermost being.
  • One's heart is the shrine of one's God and one's body is God's temple.
  • The Sufi considers every person not only as one's brother and sister but as oneself.
  • At the same time, the Sufi never claims spirituality or goodness.
  • Neither does the Sufi judge anyone, except oneself in one's own doings.
  • The Sufi's constant attitude towards others is that of love and forgiveness.
  • The Sufi's attitude towards God is that one's innermost being is the object of one's worship and the Beloved Whom one loves and admires.
  • The Sufi's interest in life is art and beauty, and
  • One's task [is] the service of humanity in whatever form possible.
