The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

But you might say that every person who is simple is inclined to trust another. Yes. But the difference between the wise person who trusts bravely and the simple person who trusts readily is a great difference. The wise person who trusts, if he is influenced by another person saying, "You may not or you must not trust a certain person," or even if he had a certain proof, even then that habit of trusting would remain with him. But that simple person, as soon as you say, "Oh, but what are you doing? You are trusting somebody who is not trustworthy," his trust will change. That is the difference between the wise person and the foolish person. The foolish person trusts because he does not know better; the wise person trusts because he knows that to trust is the best.
