The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

There is another aspect of psychology which is of very great importance. It is that often a person thinks, "I feel like this, I cannot help it," or "I think like this. I cannot help it." But in reality it is not so. One is master of one's thoughts and master of one's feelings. One cannot think or feel unless one wants to. And when a person says, "I cannot help this thought coming to me," he is the slave of his thought. Instead of being master of his mind his mind is his master, and this is a kind of poverty and helplessness which is greater than any other in the world.
