The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Sometimes warnings of accidents reach people in this way. But sometimes also a fortune-teller tells you that something is going to happen to you, an accident or an illness, or such and such a thing. In the life of one it comes true, in the life of another it does not come true. And you will always find that in the life of one who is impressionable it comes true, because he has taken to heart that such and such a thing is going to happen. Therefore, especially in India where the science of astrology is so advanced and for thousands of years the life of the people depended upon it, they have a saying: "Never consult a foolish astrologer. He may be a good astrologer, but if he is foolish, never consult him. He will say things that will impress you." And when this idea is not taught, what happens? A person easily says something in fun; for instance a person says to another, "Don't go there; you will be killed." He does not think anything of this, it is a joke; but he does not know that it may make an impression that will cause the death of that person.
