The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

I shall always remember an old man in India telling me, "The moment you think you are good, learned, wise, you close your heart's door to goodness, learning, and wisdom." The spirit of today is that a child begins to say, "I know what you do not know." There is no regard for the idea that another knows more, there is no appreciation of it. It is because something is missing in education; the children are not taught that way. What they are taught is self-pride, and even that is a false quality. True pride should be based upon a stronger foundation: the nobility of the soul. False pride must break one day or another. That is why the consideration of individuality seems to be lost.
