The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Once, after I had given a series of lectures, a man came up to me and said, "All your lectures appeal to me very much." I think every word is true; I have always thought on those lines. I would be most happy to follow your guidance, but only on one condition: that you do not mention the name of God. For a man like you, who can touch the depths of life, a man of high principles and lofty ideals, does not need to use that old name which every simpleton uses and believes in. We are making a new kind of life today, and we look at it in a different way." "New?" I said, "there is nothing new under the sun. The newness is only in your conception; it is new to you because you did not know it before. It may be new to you, but to someone else it certainly is not new!'
