The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The mystics of all ages have believed in this. They cannot help it, it is the mystical temperament. If a thousand people say, "No, it is not right", they say, "Yes, it is right. I must do it." It is not necessary for everybody to become a mystic in order to have these impulses and listen to them. Listening to one's impulses is a question of temperament. There may be one man who has it, and another, perhaps a very intellectual man, thinks, "Is it right or wrong? Shall I do it or shall I not do it?" And the time passes and the chance is lost. Out of a hundred people only one will follow his impulse, and ninety-nine will wait to see if something is right or wrong, light or heavy.
