There is a story that Moses had sought the association of Khidr, the guiding angel of all seeking souls, and had requested of him to be allowed to follow his path. Khidr said, "No, Moses. Teach the law that is given you; our way is complex." After great persistence on the part of Moses, Khidr complied with his request, on one condition: "You must not interfere with my works, by any means, in any way."
