The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

So today religion remains in the hands of those who have kept it in its outer form out of devotion and loyalty to their ancestors' faith; those who are, so to speak, grown up in minds and spirit and want something better can find nothing. Their souls hunger for music, and when they ask for music they are given a rattle, and they throw away the rattle and say they do not care for music. Yet there is the inner yearning for music, the soul's music, and without it their life becomes empty. How few recognize this fact, and fewer still admit it. The psychological condition of humanity has become such that a person with intelligence refuses music; he does not want music, he wants something, but he calls it by another name.
