The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

When a person has no discrimination and is not sure whether it is a right wish or a wrong one, whether it should come true or not, one day he says, "I should so much like it to come true"; another day he says, "I do not care if it comes true." After a week he says anew, "I so much wish it to come true," and after a month, "Oh, I do not care now." It is just like making a fire and then putting it out, then making the fire again and again putting it out. Every time he extinguishes the fire it is gone, he will have to make it anew. And so, if a person has formed a wish and cherished it for ten years, each time it is broken he has to make it anew.
