The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When we look at life with a telescope, we shall find that it is nothing but a struggle of living, individually or collectively. And it appears that if there is anything worthwhile in this life, it is what is besides this struggle: the giving and taking of kindness and love, and doing any action of unselfishness. However qualified a person is in the things of the world, his qualification reaches a certain length, it does not go beyond. It is the qualification of the understanding of life, the understanding of the law which is working behind it, that is the whole qualification required; and it is this qualification alone which will diminish the continual struggle that one has in life. It will diminish it in this way: it will give man less to resist, it will make a person more tolerant of the natural condition of human beings.
