The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

He was a statesman, a politician, a man of law, and a man of letters, and at the same time so simple that when first he saw Shams-i-Tabriz, the one who was to be his murshid, he said, "God, whom I have worshipped all through life, today came before me in the guise of man." That great devotion in an intellectual man! Here a simple dervish comes to him, scantily clad, and the leader of the city, a man of position, with power and authority, listens to him like a simple child, and appreciates him. By his ideal he raised Shams-i-Tabriz to that stage where a really devoted mureed raises his teacher. This shows the ideal and intellect both together.
