The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

No doubt, you keep the advice given in initiation, you do not speak of practices to the others. At the same time, a punctual and regular practice every day will bring desirable results. One thing must be understood. Sometimes some seekers after truth continue to do practices perhaps for three months, perhaps for six months, perhaps for a whole year. They don’t realize anything. When there is time enough, in the life of one in a week’s time development manifests; in the life of another, after some months. But at the same time, no time is lost. Even if after three years, if the effect is beginning to show, the three years are not lost. Perhaps you will not see the effect, but it is there just the same. It is as putting money in the bank. You don’t see the money, not the interest. But after three years you see the money with the interest. The same thing with these practices. I have seen among my own relations one person who practised one certain practice for forty years. I think very few would have patience to continue a practice for forty years. But the effect for that practice was most wonderful. After forty years it became living. The motive with which it was started began to manifest in every move this man made.
