The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Now the question is: what is the way of attaining to that Truth which teaches by itself brotherhood? That Truth is pictured in the symbol of the cross. The perpendicular line suggests diving deep in oneself, from the outer in the innermost consciousness, man reaching from the point of human to that point of the divine. And what does the horizontal line suggest? Expansion. That is the thought: "I and my neighbor are not only friends, we are only one." Then there is no doubt that the same interest exists for the neighbor as for oneself. No doubt, without rising to that conception it is very difficult to understand this. Man must realize it by meditation. When he touches the innermost self of his being, then he sees in another person himself.
