The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is in this belief that the mystic differs from the scientist, not however in the understanding of the process. The scientist believes in the same process: that from dense earth the mineral and then the vegetable have gradually developed. Biology rests on this principle. The mystic, however, does not attribute to this garb the origin of the body which the soul takes for its use; he attributes it to the spirit which takes the garb upon itself. This origin does not belong to the dense earth; it belongs to God; it is the ray of the sun. And is the ray separate from the sun? Never, and for the same reason man is never separate from God.
