The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Create a Bookmark

No doubt in the present time education is a great hindrance to children. The children are taught to reason freely with their parents. By reasoning freely, when they come to a certain age, they do not stop to think; before they think they argue, they dispute and ask: "Why not? Why?" In this way they never attain to the heavenly reason. For in order to arrive at that heavenly reason a responsive attitude is necessary, not an exacting attitude. What today a child learns is an assertive, exerting attitude. He exerts his knowledge upon others. Through the lack of that responsive attitude he loses his opportunity of ever touching that essence of reason which is the spirit of Bodhisatva.
