The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Our mouth is too small to compare great ones. We are not entitled to fix them as so and so, saying that there are four masters coming, or ten masters coming, or eight masters in the world, and that each master we assign them an area on the map of the world. It is all insolence. At all times, whenever the message was given, the thoughtful have always refrained from limiting their prophet by words. And if there ever came a question of comparing one teacher with another they have said, "Is it not one Soul, one Spirit, the Spirit of Guidance?" No matter in how many names and in how many forms the Spirit of Guidance comes, it is the same. Why compare the outward appearances? And what are we to compare with our limited knowledge? Those who happen to live in the time when the prophetic message is given and those who are brought into the presence of the prophet to listen to the living words, if they will not seal their lips, who should seal them?
