The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

  • And there is an attitude that one can have towards the prophet. The attitude towards the prophet must be so sacred that you cannot put it into words. An idea which you cannot express before another person. As soon as you express your idea before another person and put it into words, you only limit it. For instance, a Buddhist who, in order to convince a Hindu, says, "Lord Buddha was the World-Teacher," do you think he is raising Buddha? No, he is pulling him down. What is the world? The universe is greater than the world. He cannot raise his prophet high enough. And as soon as one makes efforts by words, if a Muslim says that Muhammed was one of the many great prophets, only he was a little greater than the others, he brings him lower in his estimation. Why compare? Comparison is not necessary.
