The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There is another reasoning which belongs to the earth. If a person says to someone who has taken another person's raincoat: "Why did you take it?", he may answer: "Because it was raining." He has a reason. Another reason is needed to think: "Why should I take another person's raincoat? Although it is raining - it is not my raincoat." That is another reason altogether. Do you think that thieves and robbers, or the great assassins have no reason? Sometimes they have great reasons - but reasons that are on the surface. Can a thief not say in order to justify his action: "What is it to that rich person if he lost so much money? Here am I, a poor man, I could make better use of it. I have not robbed him of every penny. I have just taken as much as I wanted. It is useful, I can do some good with it."
