In the view of truth ,those who are sicker than everyone else are materialist and heedless doctors.If only they would take the medicines of belief, which are like antidotes, from the sacred pharmacy of the Qur'an, they would cure both their own sicknesses and the wounds of mankind. God willing, your awakening will bind your wounds and will also make you a medicine for the sicknesses of other doctors.

Also, you should know that sometimes consoling a despairing and hopeless ill person is more beneficial than a thousand medicines. But a doctor sunk in the swamp of Nature only adds another layer of darkness to the grievous despair of such an unfortunate ill person. God willing, this awakening of yours will make you a doctor who is a means of consolation and a spreader of light to those unhappy people.

You should know that life is short and the work to be done much. I wonder, if like me, you had inspected your head, how many unnecessary, useless, unimportant things, lifeless like great piles of dry wool, you would have found among your knowledge. For I inspected my head and I found many unnecessary things. And so, it is necessary to seek a way of making that scientific information and knowledge of philosophy useful, luminous, and spiritual. You also should ask Almighty God for an awakening so that you may transform your thought into thought for the All-Wise and Glorious One’s sake; so that you may set fire to that dry wood and illuminate it, and that your unnecessary scientific knowledge may become valuable knowledge of God.

Furthermore, since The Words are able to speak with your conscience, each of their words is a letter to you not from me as myself, but from me as the herald of the Qur'an. And suppose that each is a prescription from the sacred pharmacy of the Qur'an. And in my absence, through them open up a sphere of company and conversation as though I were present.
