The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There is another great revelation which Hafiz has brought before humanity in a most beautiful form. Many people in this world have at one time believed in God, in His mercy and compassion, in His love and forgiveness; but after having suffered, after seeing catastrophes and injustice, they have given up their belief, and after great sorrow they have given up their religion. The reason for this is that the religion they have followed has taught them that God is goodness, or God is Judge; and so they ask justice from that Judge, but a justice to satisfy their own ideas. They think that their standard of justice is God's, and they also look for goodness according to their understanding of it. Thus a struggle arises in their hearts. They do not see justice, because they are looking for it from their own point of view; they are looking for goodness, kindness, and mercy from their own point of view, and there are many situations which make them think that there is no justice and no such thing as an element of forgiveness.
