The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

So a person who is thinking; "Let me see, what can mysticism teach me? What can this cult show me that I do not already know?" Would be wasting his time with it. Far better that he should spend his time on something in which he has faith. He is otherwise only creating a wall before himself, so whether he wishes to explore this teaching or not, how can he find out anything about it? This path is not for those who are only curious about it. They would never succeed with it. Nor is it for those who are always changing their mind about it, wondering whether they shall go on walking along this path: "Is it the right path? Is it the wrong path?" Such persons might go four steps forward and then come upon some manifestation of which they are frightened. So they run back ten steps! Then perhaps they may go forward again, but next time something like that happens, they go back twenty steps. Their journey would last thousands of years, and even then they would not be arriving.
