Hazrat Inayat Khan said: "Man has neither been created to be as spiritual as an angel, nor has he been made to be as material as an animal. When he strikes the happy medium, he will certainly tread the path which is meant for a human being to tread, the path which leads straight to the goal... Balance is the keynote of spiritual attainment."

Puran Bair said in Living From the Heart: "Advancing in insight, in self-mastery, in love, and in peacefulness is all that matters. The problems of life are exercises to develop these qualities.
