00:00There's very little growth without the tariqah shaykhs and people following guidance.
00:06If they don't realize that these three states, and they don't realize that I'm very solid,
00:14stubborn, everything that you can imagine, I have no flexibility, the way I think is the way it is.
00:22This is not from the levels of insan, this is at the entry level.
00:26Once guided and gifted and sent into that direction, that's something completely different.
00:35They're like mountains, you're not going to bend them, but that's not entry level.
00:41You don't come in as a mountain, you come in as a concrete, just a block.
00:46Mawlana Shaykh used to call people blockhead. No contemplation, no desire to change, to learn.
00:57The tariqah's barakah and blessings is that immense sources of energy and that when these energies are
01:06applied, they have the ability to take something from solid to liquid.
