learn to see the beauty ...

If you seek the good in every soul, you will always find it, for God
is in all things; still more He is in all beings.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

We must learn to see the beauty, it is not everyone who sees it,
often the critical spirit is occupied in gazing at the object which
lacks beauty, the more you look for beauty, the more you see it as a
whole. It is seeing the vision in part that deludes, you look at the
side of a man's nature that may not be attractive, but if you will
seek for good in everything, you will always find it, for God is in
all things, and still more He is in all beings.

One day I was walking in a city and met a dervish with a wonderful
personality. He was dressed in a patched robe, but his speech, his
voice, his thought, his movement, his atmosphere, were all most
winning. At that time I was very young in the pursuit of philosophy.
Youth is a time when pride has full play. So as we were walking
along, and he called me 'Murshid', I was very glad. He addressed me
as Murshid every time he spoke to me! Presently we met another
person, who seemed to be without any education, without any knowledge
of philosophy or religion or anything out of the way, but he called
him 'Murshid' too. My pride was hurt, especially when next he came
across a policeman whom he also called 'Murshid'. So then I asked my
teacher what could be the meaning of all this, and he said, 'Your
dervish showed you the first step towards recognizing God: to
recognize all beings as your teacher. A foolish person can teach you,
a wise person, a learned person, a student, a pious or wicked person,
even a little child; everyone can teach you something. Therefore have
this attitude towards everybody, then it may be said that you
recognize God.'
