What is asked of mureeds is not to become pious or virtuous or most learned or most powerful. The most easy and the most difficult thing is to be able to understand what Murshid expects of them. It is not what Murshid expects of all of them; no, it is what Murshid expects of that particular mureed. And it is from that day that he may be called a mureed. It is from that day that he begins advancement in the spiritual path.
