The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

That is a metaphysical, a philosophical idea, not for the common person. An ordinary person will not understand that. "How can it be?" He will doubt. It is not good for him to know it. But for us it is right to know that there is one life, that is the life of God. There is one Being, that is the being of God. As the prophets of old have said, "Not one atom moves without the will of God." Rumi in his Masnavi says, "Even the earth and water and fire which seem to us as dead things, before God they are living beings, obedient to His Will." And therefore behind it all there is only one will. But in order to realize it we must first be responsible for our own action or the action of another, we must forgive, tolerate. In this way we progress. Very often we are too ready to form an opinion about another person's actions and forget our own errors. Therefore the best thing is to take ourselves to task; in that way we improve.
