The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When the followers of diverse religions dispute over their ideals--the sacred ideals which they have not known, but of which they have only had a tradition--and wish to prove one better than the other, they merely lose time and destroy that sacred sentiment which can only be preserved in the heart. The religious ideal is the medium by which one rises towards perfection. Whatever name a person gives to his ideal, that name is most sacred for him. But that does not mean that that name limits that ideal. There is only one ideal, the divine ideal. Call him Christ, and let the same Christ be known by different names, given to him by various communities.
