The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There is a story of a murshid and a mureed. The mureed said, "O, Teacher, I should like to see heaven." The teacher said, "Yes, this is the way you should meditate in order to see heaven." So the mureed went and did so; but the vision of heaven which he had was not as described in the scriptures, a place where one enjoys nothing but comfort and luxury, milk and honey, marble halls and white robes, beautiful gems and jewels, garlands of flowers, and the waving of palms. He could not see any of these, and he asked himself, "Has the murshid perhaps shown me a wrong heaven, or have the prophets given a wrong message in the scriptures?'
