When you understand the meaning of the Truth, then you can explain everything
from your heart. A small example of what I mean here is that of someone who lives
in a cave which is closed up, then very soon the cave becomes dark. If then,
after a time, this cave is opened, the person in the cave begins to see the light.
But if he looks at the light straight away in one moment, he would be blinded
by it because his eyes need to be accustomed to the light. In the beginning the
students lives in a world that is like a cave or tomb and he needs to take in
the light slowly so that he can understand the meaning of this light. But if
the student wants all the light in one moment, this is very dangerous because
his mind before has lived in darkness. Each student is different from another,
for one may sit for one hour and reach and another may reach in a day, another
in two weeks or three. Maybe a student walks with me for five minutes and he
reaches to a high station. Each one has lived a different life. It is from the
Wisdom to give the Light slowly so that the student can understand how to give
the Message. Then he can give it to the people. This is from your Way and this
is what Allah wants from us all.
