The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sometimes we notice that a person is guided by someone, or listens to him, or gives in to him. Why does he do this? The answer is, that the one who does not give in is the one with the master aspect alive in him; the person who gives in has the servant aspect alive in him. To understand this secret is to understand the secret of the spiritual hierarchy. It is the secret of the coming of the prophets and of the master mind, of what is called the superman. The picture of this is shown in Hindu symbology, where the Devatas have four hands, two hands for the body, and two for the mind. The four make a perfect man. When there are only two external hands, material hands, and the other hands are not yet attached to the mind, the mind is not active and cannot control. There are these four different forces: the two physical arms and the two arms of mind, which make life complete; the four arms that make the perfect man, the master mind. |
