Read› Daftar 5› Explanation that any creature from whom you experience injustice is truly like an instrument. The Gnostic is one who returns to God, not to the instrument. And if he returns to the instrument outwardly, he does so not out of ignorance but for a benefit, just as Bayazid (may God sanctify his secret) said: 'For many years I have not spoken to creatures nor heard speech from them, but people imagine that I speak to them and hear from them, because they do not see the Greater Speaker, for they are but an echo to Him.' In my state, a wise listener pays no attention to an echo, just as the well-known proverb says: 'The wall said to the peg, 'Why do you split me?' The peg replied, 'Look to who is hammering me.'› beyt 1682
