The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When a person thinks, "Everyone is unfriendly to me; no one is my friend," wherever he looks he will see unfriendly faces. They may be most friendly and lovable and kind people, but he sees them as unfriendly. When a person suspects that people are working against him, he believes he sees this in everything they do. If he knows that somebody has been writing a letter he thinks, "He is writing something against me"; if he sees somebody following his own thoughts he thinks, "He is thinking about me, he is planning against me just now"; if he finds a man who is asleep he will even think, "He is dreaming against me." In the end what happens is that this thought falls upon the mind of every person that he sees or thinks about like a shadow, and this shadow turns that person into itself. And then, if that person happens to be weak he will do something unconsciously against the other. He does not do it consciously; the one who had that thought inspired him to do it and to prove thereby that he was against him.
