The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There are three steps to this purity.

  1. When a person takes the first step he distinguishes between right and wrong.
  2. When he takes the second step he only sees the right and overlooks the wrong.
  3. But when he takes the third step then his heart can see even the right of the wrong.

One might say that a realization such as this would upset the whole conception of right and wrong, and also the standard set by the nations or by religion. Yes, this is true; but at the same time keeping in harmony with the world, with those one lives with, does not mean that one should close one's eyes and not see the truth. It is for this reason that the Sufi says: do as the others do, live as the others live, think as the others think, but feel as you yourself feel and realize life as your soul guides you.
