The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

This is an example to us, to remember that we at first had nothing. We were only the consciousness. Later on there are so many things that we call ours: our name, our power, our possessions, our friends. Nothing is ours. All has been clothed upon the consciousness from the external world. We, as an infant were helpless, and since then all our needs have been supplied by His nature. And as soon as we began to know and recognize things we called that ours which in fact did not belong to us, and loaded ourselves with responsibilities and needs of life, forgetting ungratefully the favors of the Creator. Blessed among us is he who like Ayaz remembers his helpless state and then the gifts of God. For this he is promoted to a higher place.
