And when this rehearsal is done, then performance begins. In the performance the same thing is done with God. The experience that I have had in my work very few esoteric teachers in the East can even imagine. Those who have the idea that every mureed comes prepared, they cannot imagine that the first work is to prepare a soul to be a mureed, and then to train that mureed to the highest knowledge. And mureeds who are not accustomed to these ideas when they accustom themselves to it, no doubt they show a greater response than a mureed would show in the East, who is already trained in that path.
