The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Copying is the pupil's tendency, and the great master is he who is a great pupil. The one who copies must by nature be a respondent lover of nature and a follower of nature. There is a verse of a Hindustani Poet, "I will undo your curls, Oh blowing wind, if you disturb the curls of my beloved." The copier is the lover of the beauty he sees, and he does not wish to alter it. His whole effort is to keep its originality, and that is the nature of the lover of God. The copier in his constant effort draws closer and closer to beauty, thereby producing in his own nature beauty, and holding the beauty in himself he develops harmony in his nature and arrives at oneness with nature.
