The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Therefore naturally it gives those who wish to criticize the Brahman religion a scope to make it as savage as possible, and also it gives a scope to those who appreciate it and see in it a religion that can be as refined as possible. There is philosophy there, there is drama, there is ethics, there is art, there is music, there is beauty. Nothing that is good and beautiful and nothing that is valuable and worthwhile is left out from the religion. If you ask a Hindu, an intelligent Hindu, "If we let you have your religion and give you no literature, no art, no science, no social life, will you be satisfied?" He will say, "Certainly, because in the religion there is everything -- there is art, there is literature, there is philosophy, there is wisdom, there is play, there is thought, there is meditation -- everything."
