Those on the path of God need never expect kindness, cheerfulness, and friendship from others, nor need they hope for moral stability nor understanding on the part of those they meet. It is sufficient that the mureed understand that all love and goodness come from God, are signs of the presence of God, and to praise God for every sign of God's Presence.
At the same time, all that is given to the mureed is for humanity not for one's individual self. The marvelous spiritual magnetism which pours in and through the talib , the disciple on the spiritual path, reaches the whole of humanity for it enters the atmosphere of earth through the human breath and passes all around the globe. This breath is sustained by all the thoughts and feelings of tenderness and love. A single harsh thought of a master-mind can bring tribulation to multitudes.
