At one time I wanted to take a friend to meet my murshid. This friend was a very material man, restless and pessimistic and doubting and skeptical. And every day I urged him to come with me to see my murshid. "But," he asked, "what can he do for me?'I said, "You can ask him something." He said, "I have twenty thousand questions to ask, when could he answer them?" I said, "You can ask one or two of the twenty thousand, that is already something." "Well," he said, "one day I will see."
