I do not wish to say this to mureeds who have not yet conceived the idea of the Sufi Message; but those who have a little spark in their heart somewhere hidden, they cannot say it in words, they cannot speak about it, and yet they cannot help feeling for it. To them there is my appeal that this is the most critical time for us because we are beginning. It is the same as with a little seedling which has not yet grown into a plant. Birds can come, animals can come, insects can eat it up, or anyone can walk over it and spoil it. But when it turns into a tree, then it supports itself, then its own strength will support it. Our responsibility therefore is to keep this little seedling with such care, to rear it, to water it, to let it have the sun and the air, and to consider it our sacred responsibility to let it grow and spread and bring the fruits and flowers that it has to bring to humanity.
