A mystic may take one step outwardly, inwardly he has taken a thousand; he may be in one city, and may be working in another place at the same time. A mystic is a phenomenon in himself and a confusion to those around him. He himself cannot tell them what he is doing, nor will they understand the real secret of the mystic. For it is someone who is living the inner life, and at the same time covering that inner life by outer action; his word or movement is nothing but the cover of some inner action. Therefore those who understand the mystic never dispute with him. When he says "Go", they go; when he says "Come", they come; when he comes to them they do not say, "Do not come"; they understand that it is the time when he must come; and when he goes from them they do not ask him to stay, for they know it is the time when he must go.
