The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is the greater intelligence that sees the lesser. We see, we understand, what is in the child's mind. The child does not know whether we are glad or sorry, joyful, unhappy, disturbed, well or ill, because here the intelligence is developed, and in the child it is not developed. If the reflection from the lamp falls upon the wall and I am asked, "Is that a light on the wall?" I shall say, either, "It is nothing," or, "It is the reflection." Supposing, take the consciousness as a wall, and the reflection from the body and mind fallen upon it, a part of the consciousness is confined by the reflection. You may call it something, or you may call it nothing. If it were not confined, it would be the pure consciousness, but in its confined state it is the soul.
