The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

If we look at their faults, we gain nothing; except the faults which we have looked at, we collect them. But we can just as well look at the good side of it. Besides, in respecting a religious man, it need not be that we are respecting every belief or dogma or idea he has to teach. It is not enough even to think of religion as something sacred, and have a respectful attitude towards every person who is doing the work of religion. It is also necessary to think that those in our Sufi Movement who are made cherags and sirajs, if we ourselves will not respect them and will not appreciate their devotion to the Cause and their service towards it, it is just like a child who is not inclined to respect the elder ones in his own family. It is for the dignity of the Cause, it is for the honor of the Message, of the Movement, that those who are ordained as cherags, those who are made sirajs, that they may be given due consideration. There is no pleasure in not doing it, but in doing it there is a great pleasure.
