The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The error is in man's nature. From childhood man thinks all he does is just and fair, so when man thinks of God he has his own conception by which he tries to judge God and His justice. If he is forgiving, he tries to overlook God's apparent injustice and find goodness in God and to see the limitation of man. This is better, but in the end man will realize that every movement is controlled and directed from one source, and that source is the perfection of love, justice, and wisdom, a source where nothing is lacking. But it is so difficult for man to have a perfect conception of the God ideal and he cannot begin in a first lesson to conceive of God as perfect. So the wise must be tolerant of all the forms in which souls picture their God.
