The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

To keep a harmful suggestion out of one's mind means a struggle, but if a person does not know how to struggle he will continue the same suggestion by this very struggle. For instance a person who is struggling against his illness and is saying to himself, "I am not ill. I am not ill," since both the words not and ill are there, he continues both. Or a person who is in poverty and who says, "I am not poor," the poor is there besides the not, and his poverty will stay with him. While he is struggling against it he keeps it all the time before his mind; although he does not want it, yet it is there. It is in his own consciousness and he cannot get rid of it. One should act wisely in regard to suggestion.
