Question Your Judgement

If everything were in truth as it appears to be, Mohammed, endowed as he was with a vision so penetrating, so illuminated, would never have cried,
“Lord, show me things as they are. You show a thing as fair, and in reality it is ugly. You show a thing as ugly, and in truth it is beautiful. Show us everything just as it is, So that we will not fall into the snare.”
Now, your judgement, however good and luminous it may be, is certainly not better than the Prophet’s judgement. So do not put your trust in every idea and every notion, but only in God and Its wisdom.
