The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The mission of Hafiz was to express to a fanatical religious world that the presence of God is not to be found only in heaven, but also here on earth. Very often religious belief in God and in the hereafter has kept man asleep, waiting for that hour and day to come when he will be face to face with his Lord; and he is certain that that day will not come before he is dead. Therefore he awaits his death in the hope that he will see God in the hereafter, for heaven is the only place where God can be found; there is no other place. And he thinks that only a certain place, that is the church, is a sacred place of worship, and that God cannot be found anywhere else. The mission of Hafiz was to destroy this idea and to make man conscious of the heaven close to him, and to tell him that all he expects as a reward in the hereafter could be had here if he lived a fuller life.
