The beginner is saved from complete insensitivity because within him there is a vestigial capacity to react to true gold. And the teacher, recognizing the innate capacity, will be able to use it as a receiving apparatus for his signals. True, in the earlier stages, the signals transmitted by the teacher will have to be arranged in such a way as to be perceptible to the inefficient and probably distorting mechanism of the receiver. But the combination of the two elements provides a basis for a working arrangement. ~ Idries Shah, The Sufis.
