The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is a great fault of the learning today that sentimental side is kept apart, which is the most important side. It is like wanting a person to come, but not with his life, but as a corpse. In order to educate a person the life should be taken out of him, and turn him from a living person to a dead one. Therefore we find the death of heroism, therefore we find the death of idealism, therefore we find the death of souls who have made impressions upon humanity and which have lasted for thousands and thousands of years. What is to be revived in the present generation is the capacity of feeling. It is the thinking which is developed today, but not the feeling, after feeling comes seeing. And it is this seeing which is known in the English word "seer." |
