The first stage is called by Sufis iman mujmal, which means "faith of the crowd." Where there are ten persons standing, the eleventh person goes and stands with them also. And if there are fifty persons waiting for an airplane to come from the south, there may be nothing in that airplane, but because there are fifty persons standing, there will be a hundred in fifteen minutes' time. They have only to make up their mind, "There is something coming and we should wait for it," and then you will see a thousand persons standing by their side, not knowing whether it is coming or not coming, but because there are fifty persons standing, looking at the sky, that is quite enough. That is the psychology of the crowd, and so the crowd is attracted and so the crowd is led.
