The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

We cannot say from the outward appearance who believes and who does not believe. One person may be pious and orthodox and it may mean nothing; another may have a profound love for the deity and a great knowledge of Him and no one may know it. What benefit does man receive from believing in the kingship of God? How does he derive real help from his belief? He must begin to realizing the nobility of human nature. Not that one must expect everything to be good and beautiful, and if one's expectation is not realized think there is no hope of progress. For man is limited and his goodness is limited. No one has ever proved to be your ideal; you may make an ideal out of your imagination and whenever you see goodness lacking you may give from your own heart and so complete the nobility of human nature. This is done by patience, tolerance, kindness, and forgiveness.
