The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

But he whose heart is awakened is higher than a gentleman. Such a one can sympathize with another; his sympathies are awake to consider another, to think for another, to serve another, to sacrifice for another. He is not merely a gentleman, he is a saint. The power of sympathy and love takes away the gross self which used to demand all for itself. Once that is taken away, man thinks in a far higher way. "Whatever I can do for another, that will I do; I will sacrifice all I have; the loss is no matter; it is a satisfaction." To satisfy the heart, what a thing it is! This also is a part of joy, but it is not peace. |
