*Mystery*

 

Talib said:

'People who know nothing, or know very little and

should be studying instead of teaching, are fond

of creating an air of mystery. They may foster

rumours about themselves and pretend that they do

things for some secret reason. They always strive

to increase the sense of mystery.

'But this is mystery for itself, not as the

outer manifestation of inner knowledge.

'The people who really know the inner secrets

generally look and behave like ordinary people.

'So the ones who increase the air of mystery may

be like the spider's web, they only catch flies.

Are you, like the fly, a spider's dinner?'
