The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

It is the same with distrust. When we do not trust someone, we think that everything that he does is untrustworthy; it appears like this. And if we were to fight against every person who shows us the shadow of our own thought, there would be no end to the fight. We would become excitable and in the end we would die of that excitement, we would become mad and all kinds of ill luck would be attracted by that attitude, or we would become very frightened at our own fear. This happens in so many cases that we cannot say that even one person in a hundred is free from it. If we cured ourselves of this impression, we would change the outer circumstances of our life even without trying to do so; just by changing ourselves we can change the outer circumstances. We can also change those whom we cannot trust into trustworthy people; we can change objects and individuals of whom we are afraid into great friends. Once suspicion had been cleared from the mind we would have very little chance of suspecting anyone any more.
