The fourth step in this path is the imitation. A mureed who imitates Murshid in his thoughts and in his way of thinking at things must not necessarily lose his point of view, but can add one more point of view to his own and perhaps he will find that point of view in time more useful. Besides, how Murshid says and acts under different circumstances, the mureed who has the chance of noticing it can acquire a greater spiritual knowledge than by reading many books. Because this is the living way of learning. If a mureed has not insight in Murshid's point of view, how can he attain to the realization of God? Once he has an insight in Murshid's point of view, he naturally will have insight in another person's point of view.
