The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The divine life has a certain capability to give life, and it gives this life as teaching to the children of earth. This teaching is called dharma or religion. Religions are many and different from one another, but only in form. Water is one and the same formless element, only it takes the shape of the channel which holds it and which it uses for its accommodation. Thus the name water is changed into river, lake, sea, stream, pond, etc. So it is with religion; the essential truth is one, but the aspects are different. Those who fight about external forms will always fight, those who recognize the inner truth will not disagree, and thus will be able to harmonize people of all religions.
