The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

To be man is the greatest privilege. In the Sermon on the Mount it is said: "Ye are the salt of the earth." That means Ye are the greatest of creation. A Hindustani poet has said: "Man was created for sympathy. For worship the angels were enough in heaven. And for cruelty the animals were enough on earth." The angels are always ready to worship God and animals ready to fight and kill. Man is made for sympathy, for feeling. Man's heart is the most feeling. What man is it of whom God is proud? In Persian there are two words for man, insaan and adami. Insaan is the man who is man in mind and man in form. Adami is the man who is man in form only, but not in his mind.
