“Counsels of Bahaudin You want to be filled. But something which is full has first to be emptied. Empty yourself so that you will fill properly, by observing these counsels, which you can do as duties to yourself: First Never follow any impulse to teach, however strong it might be. The command to teach is not felt as an impulsion.” — Idries Shah
