The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There remains the one source which is always helpful, and can always help. It is only because man does not see Him, does not realize Him, that he doubts whether there is such a being as God. However religious or pious he is, he always looks to a material agent for help. However religious or pious, he cannot explain God; not even a mystic or philosopher can explain Him. The ideal of God is the first lesson that must be learnt; and it cannot be learnt by analysis. Therefore the intellectual mind which seeks for an analysis of God is always sure to be disappointed. The philosopher spoke truly when he said, "To analyze God is to dethrone God." Analysis can never portray even the ideal of God. That is why every messenger, Mohammed, Christ, Moses, Abraham, emphasized the one word: faith.
