You need not be impatient for the progress you make on the spiritual path, for you must be sure of the fact that your Murshid is more enthusiastic and more keen about your progress than you yourself are. If he does not push you forward too quickly, it is not the lack of interest, nor is it the lack of fair dealing on his part. What could be more pleasing to the parents than the progress of their own children? So it is with your Murshid. If you progress in advancement, it is to my content, to my credit: it is my great benefit. In the path of truth you have to have the same tendencies as the travellers on the ship towards the captain: the sure trust that he is doing his duty to his best. If anyone should go to the captain and say, "I think you are going more to the north than to the south; this is not the place I want to go to," that poor captain would be so confused that he should not know what to do. Shall he go backward or forward? I hope this my mureeds will understand.
