' Forget Oneself '...

Sometimes we find satisfaction in self-pity.

The reason is that
it is our nature to find satisfaction in love; and when we are
confined to ourselves we begin to love ourselves, and then
self-pity arises because we feel our limitation.

But the love of
self always brings dissatisfaction, for the self is not made to be
loved; the self is made to love.

The first condition to love is to
forget oneself.



-Hazrat Inayat Khan
