Do Not Be Proud of Your Dreams and Revelations Some people overlook such important tasks which are the true objective of a believer, and pursue other things. For example, if one sees a [true] dream or a few [divine] words spill from his tongue, he thinks that he has now become a saint. This is the point at which man gets deceived. Even the impious, the impure, and the immoral can witness dreams that may even come true. To take pride in such a thing is accursed. Suppose one had some dreams and they came true—what does that accomplish? Can one survive if he is given a few drops of water when he is extremely thirsty? Of course not. Rather, his thirst will be further intensified. In the same way, these dreams amount to nothing until one has been endowed with a full measure of cognition of God both in its quality and quantity. The condition of a man is noble and satisfactory when he is righteous and pure in practical conduct. His conduct should testify to it. When the blessings of God and powerful miracles accompany him and support him every moment, it is then that God is with him and he is with God.
