The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Religion is a law of beauty given to humanity by the masters of life. Morality is a prescription of principles adopted by a number of persons at a given period. Philosophy is an explication of names, forms, conditions and circumstances which are known by logic and knowledge. Mysticism is a way that is incomprehensible to most people, because it is a way of getting to the center of life and things, which the other ways take centuries to get to. The source where mystics get their knowledge from is the Divine Source, of which Christ says, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all things shall be added unto you." The ordinary person cannot understand that by sitting down and closing his eyes a man can get knowledge. He also cannot see how one can get knowledge without learning from exterior sources, because all his life he has been used to that. [Note: In the place ("prescription") and ("explication") there were open spaces in the original text. These two words were added, and therefore are not authentic.]
