The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Mureeds who are not aware of it would feel revolt, would feel discomfort, would feel impatient, would feel troubled in their hearts. And mureeds who see one mureed treated in one manner and another in another manner, would wonder and would be amazed. "Why must it be so? Are they not equal, are they not all equal to their Murshid?" But they do not know. Yes, they are all near to the heart of Murshid in the same way or the other. But the way that Murshid takes with each is like a prescription for that particular person. It is in this way that patience develops in a mureed, tolerance is taught to the mureed, endurance is given to a mureed to practice. He is made thoughtful, he is made considerate, he is made tender. Even if it be by grinding his rough feeling, he is made gentle in time, without him knowing. All those qualities which make the soul noble are drawn out by this finer method of working with mureeds. And yet very few mureeds realize it. Very seldom do they realize that it is so.
