The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The Sufi therefore says, "No, fulfill your duties, answer your demands in worldly life, consider your obligations toward all those who are connected with you, cultivate your feelings of affection, of devotion, of friendship, of duty. Have regard one for another, those who love you, who depend upon you, who are near you, who wish your help, your service, your protection. And in this way evolve, that you may arrive to that stage where you may be in the world and may not be of the world, a worldly person and an ascetic at the same time." That is the ideal which we all will reach sooner or later, to be in the world and let the world not touch us, just like the drop of oil in the water.
