The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

  • Everyone seems to him to be wicked, everyone's presence seems to have a jarring effect upon him,
  • and he seeks to be exclusive and to find a seclusion which life does not permit of his finding.
  • If he happens to be in a position where he has to speak or sing or perform in any way, he fails to do his best,
  • and when he meets people he cannot stand a criticism or reply to a jest.
  • The presence of others has the effect of a weight upon the soul.
  • The desire of the sensitive person is always to be hiding, keeping away from people, looking at others with nervousness, dislike, or fear.
  • Such a person, however great his virtues or merits, is always incapable of free expression of his gift.
