The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

But for this change we should not be able to appreciate life or to live. Yet that which we like and value is constancy, its opposite. Now we come to the whole secret of religion, mysticism and philosophy. If the secret of God is traced we shall find that it is constancy. We live in the life of change, but we seek that which is constant. It is this search after constancy which has brought man back to God. If it was not for this desire man would not have discovered the God Ideal. However materialistic man is and however much he disbelieves in God, he leans on constancy just the same. He does not want the servant who works today and not tomorrow, nor the house in which he cannot stay for a definite time, nor does he want dealings with men who change and are deceitful. He values constancy, therefore there is the innate desire to find that which is constant.
