The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The religion that appeals to the crowd, there is no end to the followers of that religion. It may not be deep, it may not be wonderful, it may not have philosophy, it may have no wisdom; as long as it appeals to the crowd, there will be numberless followers of it. But at the same time, it does not take long for them to go away. Prophet Muhammed had most wonderful experiences about it. When he began to be successful hundreds and thousands came and followed him. And one day they quarreled with somebody and they thought that everything was wrong, that it was a delusion, and they went away. It does not take one moment for them to come and it does not take one moment for them to go. And yet, that is one step, that is the first step. One rises step by step. If one did not take the belief of the crowd, then one might stay away from it. At the same time what I say tells us what it means, the belief of the crowd.
