Reflections 2 - 163

A Collection of Teachings

Belief can take two forms, the one having the tendency of running water, flowing from one conception to another, and the other having the tendency of frozen water, which cannot be modified. In this latter case the believer identifies belief with ego and is not open to any other concept than the one held, whereas the belief which flows like running water adapts to progress and to circumstances, finally attaining to conviction.

Hazrat Inayat Khan, in his seventeen years of work in the West (from 1910 until 1927) has travelled extensely, in Europe, in Russia and the United States, and he has left us a widespread wisdom which covers all aspects of human life on this earth.

Here the reflections throw their light upon a certain aspect, and, dear friends, if you wish to follow them every day, you will certainly discover a golden thread which links one sentence to the other; and there might appear, before your inner perception, something which every individual, in his or her own way, could discover something like 'the map of my own life'...

Heartily
