A MAN'S INCLINATION IS THE ROOT OF THE TREE OF HIS LIFE.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
Inclination means leaning, and this leaning necessarily
takes some direction. If man is dependent upon mind or
body, he cannot rise above limitation. Yet his dependency
will mark his character and influence his nature and his
deeds. All this belongs to the limited personality, and the
root may die when a shock or great pain or catastrophe comes.
But when man leans upon God, such events cannot disturb him
to the extent of breaking down his spirit. Who depends upon
God will be helped by God.
