The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The third form of a spiritual being is that of a server, one who does good to others. In this form there may be saints hidden. They never speak about spirituality, nor much about the philosophy of life. Their philosophy and religion are in their action. There is love gushing forth from their heart every moment of their life, and they are occupied in doing good to others. They consider everyone who comes near them as their brother or sister, as their child; they take an interest in the joy and the sorrow of all people, and do all they can to guide them, to instruct them, to advise them through their lives. In this form the spiritual person may be a teacher, a preacher, or a philanthropist; but in whatever form he may appear, the chief thing in his life is the service of mankind, doing good to another, bringing happiness to someone in some form; and the joy that rises from this is high spiritual ecstasy, for every act of goodness and kindness has a particular joy which brings the air of heaven.
