The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When we come to the Vedantic scriptures, which existed many thousands of years ago, there also we realize the same thing. For instance, there is a phrase in Sanskrit: Nada Brahma, which means: the mystery of creation was in nada - in the word. In the Qur'an one reads in the Arabic words Kun fa-yakun that first was the exclamation "Be!", and it became. The One who said "Be", and it became, was not a mortal being. He was and is, and will be, all the life there is. If that is so, then the word was not the mystery of the past, but the word is a continual and everlasting mystery. And at this time, when man has engaged himself in the material phenomena and has progressed very far, compared with the past, in industry and commercial activities, this aspect of discovering the might which lies hidden under the word is still unexplored.
