The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

From a king down to the most ordinary person, it is mildness that wins the whole world. People of all positions in life and all grades of evolution can do such a great work with this one little possession. Sa'di says, "If your word is sweet, you conquer the world; wherever you go you win men's hearts." Is it not what Christ means when he says to the fishermen, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men"; that is, "I will teach you those manners of humanity by which you will win everyone you may come in contact with'? Do you think a person can become a fisher of men by his cleverness, by his artificial polish? False is false, gold is gold. The true gold will last; the false gold will lose its brilliance. |
