An analogy for the Sheikh's teaching to his murids and the Prophet's to his community, for they cannot bear direct teaching from God and are not familiar with God, just as a parrot is not familiar with the form of a human to receive teaching from him. God Almighty holds the Sheikh like a mirror before the murid, like a parrot, and teaches from behind the mirror: 'Do not move your tongue with it to hasten it. Indeed, it is only a revelation revealed.' This is the beginning of an endless matter, just as the parrot's beak movements within the mirror, which you call imagination, are without its will or control, a reflection of the outer parrot that is learning, not a reflection of the teacher behind the mirror. But the outer parrot's speaking is the action of that teacher. So this is an analogy, not an exact similitude.›
