The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There is a story of the great Indian composer Sayn Aliyas. He was an ascetic, and for his daily food a loaf of bread was enough. It happened that people gave him more; but he would never keep anything for tomorrow; he would always give away what he had not eaten that day. And if one asked him why he made himself dependent upon other people, he would answer, "We are all interdependent. As long as I do not force myself upon others, it all comes from God and it all goes to God's creatures." So it all depends on the point of view, on how one looks at it.
