The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

But the path of the saint is a constant battle with the self, for the nature of the world is such that from the good person more good is asked; from a kind person more kindness is demanded; from a person who is patient more patience is expected; from a person who is gentle more gentleness is asked. There is no end to the world's demands: all one gives to the world and more is asked. Always do right, and it is always wrong. Therefore there is no end to the battle in both the paths taken by the wise, and it is the warrior in life's path who in the end becomes victorious. Those who do not have that power remain wandering about in the same place.
