To learn to adopt the standard of God, and to cease to wish to make the
world conform to one's own standard of good, is the chief lesson of
religion.
Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
When people came to Christ accusing a person of doing wrong, the Master
could not think of anything else but forgiveness. For he did not see in
the wrongdoer what the others saw. To distinguish between right and
wrong is not the work of an ordinary mind, and the curious thing is
that the more ignorant a person is, the more ready he is to do so.
