The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

This was a practical hint the Prophet gave, but at the same time when we come to think about dependence upon the unknown, we go into a much deeper subject, a subject of the greatest value in our everyday life. It is true to say, "Tie your camel to a tree", but do we not see that very often with all his strife and struggle and worry and anxiety a person gets nothing in the end? And very often we see that to a person who does not strive and struggle the hand of Providence comes naturally and shows him, "Here you are. Here is what you want." In the East there is a saying, "When God gives, He pours it through the roof, so that it comes into the house"; and this is true also. We cannot see it because we do not want to see it, because we do not open our eyes; but it happens in everyday life. |
