In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
With strength drawn from the Absolute Power of God, we begin this session.
Hello, friends. I am Hossein, a Traveler and the session guardian. I kindly ask everyone to observe fourteen seconds of silence to seek refuge in the Almighty and free ourselves from our greatest enemy—our own ignorance and unawareness.
Thank you, friends. I now request our esteemed secretary to provide a summary of the previous session and announce today’s agenda.
Session Secretary:
Hello, friends. I am Ali, a Traveler.
The previous session, the tenth session of the 26th round, was held on May 25, 2007, at 5:00 p.m., with me serving as session guardian, Mr. Ali Khodami as secretary, and Dr. Yasini as teacher. The agenda was “Teacher.”
During that session, the teacher explained that we are all teachers. The story of creation begins with God and the teaching of the human being. The angels ask God, “Are You going to create a being who will spread corruption and shed blood?” God replies, “I know something that you do not know.”
Knowledge has two aspects: one is consumption, and the other is production. A person may read a great many books without producing anything of their own.
God says that those who have received the first aspect of knowledge but do not produce or pass anything on are like a donkey carrying books. But why a donkey? God says, “Indeed, the most unpleasant of sounds is the braying of a donkey.” In other words, if someone learns but does not teach others, they simply keep shouting, “I know! You must respect my status! I have a degree!” That is an unpleasant sound.
We truly demonstrate our humanity when we are able to teach others.
At the end of the session, the teacher answered ten questions from Travelers and Companions.
There were 200 people present at the previous session, and the treasury balance was 50,800 tomans.
Today is the eleventh session of the 26th round, with Mr. Hossein Dezhakam as session guardian, Amin Dezhakam as the guest speaker, and the agenda is “Teacher”.
Mr. Hossein Dezhakam:
I hope you are all doing well and feeling happy and healthy. I would like to congratulate everyone who serves in the role of a teacher on Teacher’s Day.
Dr. Haj Rasouli is also here with us, and I would like to congratulate him as well.
We decided that since today is Teacher’s Day, Amin should lead this session. He is your Worldview teacher and travels to all the branches throughout the year to provide this education. Last week, we decided that we would have him with us today.
I would like to ask him to accept the role of teacher for this session. Out of respect for him, I kindly ask everyone to stand.
Dr. Amin Dezhakam:
Hello, friends. I am Amin, a Companion.
I’m very happy to be here with you today. I was given the command to do this, so I am carrying it out, and here I am.
Today is Teacher’s Day, although this entire week has been designated Teacher’s Week. After all these years of Congress 60’s activities, we now have many teachers here, each of whom has helped raise and educate many pupils. They all deserve our respect and admiration because they serve here to help people achieve Liberation and to be of service to others.
I hope they all have a fruitful year ahead. I congratulate every one of them. I have also learned a great deal from you through these visits, meetings, and classes, because our own needs are found within other people, just as other people’s needs are found within us.
For today’s session, I have prepared a topic that I hope I can explain well. It is about the human being itself. Then, as we continue, we will explore what teaching actually involves and why the role of a teacher holds such an important position.
I will talk about the things I have personally experienced and the events that have taken place in my own life. Of course, I will also draw on other material.

To begin, we need to go back to the starting point, which is the story of Adam and Eve. In the Worldview classes, I’ve talked about polytheism, and this topic can be seen as a continuation of that discussion. I’ve also touched on it a little at the Enghelab branch.
The story of Adam and Eve begins with the creation of human beings. A pair is created as an example, and God asks them, “Am I not your Lord?” They affirm this.
I should point out that this story appears several times in the Holy Quran. When a story is repeated several times, it means there are important points in it. It is repeated so that, as people read the Quran, they will notice and understand those points.
Then the issue of Satan’s refusal to prostrate arises. Satan refuses and says that he is not willing to perform such an act or bow down in prostration.
The act Satan commits is called rebellion or disobedience. In other words, Satan rebels against the command of his Lord. God then says, “All right, then you must leave.” Satan responds, “Give me a reprieve until a specified time so that I can use all my power and do everything I can.” God says, “Go, then. You are among those who have been granted a reprieve.”
Then God tells Adam and Eve, “Where you are now, you are in Paradise. In this Paradise, whatever you desire will be provided for you.”
Essentially, that is what Paradise means. It does not necessarily refer to a particular physical place. Rather, it is a state in which what a person desires comes to fruition—although those desires must, of course, be reasonable. That is one of the characteristics of being in Paradise.
Perhaps you’ve experienced something like this yourself. You want a certain thing to happen, and then it does. You want a particular person to call you, you hope a suitable job will come your way, you want to have a certain item, or you want to take a particular trip. Then, after a few hours or days, something remarkable happens, and the thing you wanted actually comes about. You express a desire in your heart, circumstances come together, and it is fulfilled.
Or perhaps you want to hear a particular word from someone. A few hours later, that person happens to use exactly that word.
When things happen this way, it may mean that you are close to Paradise. This kind of state exists in Paradise: a person’s desires come to fruition.
Now, the state Adam and Eve initially occupied had this characteristic. God tells them that everything they could want is available to them, but there is one thing they must not do: they must not approach this tree.
In Congress 60’s Worldview classes, this tree has been interpreted as the evil tree. It does not mean a literal tree bearing some kind of fruit, such as grapes or something else. Rather, it represents a root system and all the things connected to it. They are told not to approach it.
That is the one thing God asks them not to do, although this single prohibition contains a great many important issues.
Meanwhile, Satan, who has already rebelled, says to them, “Do you know why God told you not to approach this tree?”
The two of them are still complete beginners. They know very little, so they answer, “No.”
Satan then tells them, “It’s because if you make use of it, your condition will improve beyond what it is now. You will become chosen angels and be much better than you are at present.”
We see exactly the same thing in addiction. When a person first uses drugs, they really may feel better than they did before. But that effect does not last. This, too, is one of Satan’s ways.

They go ahead and do it, and the effect it has on them is that certain things they had never understood before suddenly become clear to them. The story says that they begin gathering leaves and covering themselves with them. Then God—or, as it is expressed here, their Lord—asks them, “What have you done?” He realizes that they have made a serious mistake. He asks them what they have done and recognizes that they have taken this step.
He says, “All right, you have now violated a command. You have disobeyed. So, what must happen now? You must descend; you must fall.” In other words, from this point onward, they can no longer remain in Paradise. Until now, they were there, but they can no longer stay. They must go down to Earth or to another level of existence, where they will have to undergo tests before they can return to their original state.
You see, what causes a human being to enter darkness is the violation of a command. Of course, this is a universal principle. It can apply to all human beings; otherwise, the Word of God would not carry that authority, because its principles apply to everyone.
Violating a command means that your Lord tells you, “I am your Lord, and I am telling you not to do this,” but you go ahead and do it anyway. That disobedience is the starting point—the very beginning—of a person’s fall in every aspect of life.
In other words, if a person is going to enter darkness, there is a condition that must be met: they must violate a command. They must fail to obey God’s command and instead follow another command. A person either obeys God’s command or does something else; there is no middle ground.
Now, if this continues, the person’s fall becomes greater and greater. They keep descending further into darkness, repeatedly violating commands and falling deeper and deeper.
Eventually, they reach darkness. But what exactly does darkness mean? What is its real meaning?
I have come to understand it this way: consider someone at the height of addiction, someone with a severe addiction who is living in darkness and suffering terribly. What characterizes this person?
One characteristic of someone in the depths of addiction is that many of the natural forces within a human being, which would normally be under their command, are no longer under their control. If these forces are to come under their command at all, it is only conditionally. For example, if they want their legs to obey them, their thoughts to remain under control, their body to function properly, or their sleep to be regulated, all of this depends on one condition: they must take the substance. Only after they do so do some of their inner forces become available to them again, and even then, only to a certain extent.
For example, when they suddenly go through withdrawal—a cold-turkey withdrawal—all those forces that were only conditionally under their command slip completely out of their control and turn against them. That is what withdrawal feels like: all the forces within a person seem to rise up against them.
The same thing happens in other areas of life, too. For instance, a person’s mind may not be at peace. Disturbing thoughts keep entering their mind and repeating themselves. In such a situation, the mind and its power are not under the person’s control.
If the power of the mind were brought under their command, their condition would improve enormously. Many times, the reason we fail to do the things we want to do is not that we lack the time. It is that our minds are so crowded with thoughts that we simply cannot get those things done. And there are other issues like this as well.
The same applies to the physical body. Sometimes a person’s hands and feet may not obey them or respond to their commands. Their speech may also slip out of their control. You may see someone suddenly say something, then immediately exclaim, “Oh no! I didn’t mean to say that!”
In that moment, their speech was not under their command. Or they may do something and then ask themselves, “What on earth was I doing?”
As a person moves forward in life, they gradually begin to realize that certain things within them are not under their command.
For example, one day I was walking along the street when I saw a car approaching. Suddenly, I jumped out in front of it. Fortunately, the car was moving slowly. Afterwards, I asked myself, “What kind of thing was that to do?” Then I realized that some part of my being was still not under my command.

Paradise is a state in which the forces God used in creating a human being come under that person’s command. In other words, when these forces are under their command, that is Paradise: what they want to happen actually happens.
If they want to concentrate, they can concentrate. If they want something to be registered in their mind, it is registered. If they want to sleep, they can sleep.
Imagine that you are exhausted. You are so tired you can barely stand, yet you keep telling yourself, “Go to sleep,” but you cannot fall asleep. You keep repeating, “Go to sleep,” you toss and turn, and you lie down, but your mind just keeps working away on its own. You have not slept for three days, or perhaps two days, and yet you still cannot rest.
But when that force is under your command, you simply tell yourself, “Go to sleep,” and ten minutes later, you are asleep.
Or perhaps this has happened to you: you wanted to wake up at exactly four o’clock, and when you got up, you looked at the clock and saw that it was precisely four. In that instance, the force governing your sleep was under your command.
For example, you tell yourself to jump a certain distance, and you can do it. You tell yourself to lift a particular weight, and you can lift it. You tell yourself to follow up on a certain task and get it done, and you do it.
Sometimes someone speaks harshly to you or says something unfair to you, but you find yourself unable to answer them. Why? Because that inner force is not under your command.
You want to stop using drugs, but you cannot, because certain things within you are no longer under your control.
Essentially, darkness means that a person’s inner forces are no longer under their command. They turn against the person or simply refuse to obey. And the deeper the darkness becomes, the more of these forces fall outside the person’s control.
Now, the starting point was the violation of a command: the person disobeyed and entered darkness.
So, if we want to identify the opposite process—the way a person can return from darkness to the light—what is the way out? What is the condition?
I believe the condition is not meditation, concentration, effort, activity, force, perseverance, or willpower. It is not even thought or love. That is how I understand it.
The essential condition that gave a person permission to enter darkness was disobedience. Therefore, the essential condition that gives them permission to leave darkness is obedience.
The Word of God says:
“Allah is the Guardian of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness into light.”
The verse then goes on to say that Satan is the guardian of those who lead people from light into darkness. This is the continuation of the verse in Surah Al-Baqarah.
The condition for leaving darkness is obedience.
In other words, if you want to enter darkness, you must violate a command. If you do not disobey, you will not be admitted into darkness; it will not let you in.
And if you want to leave darkness, you must obey. That is the fundamental condition.

Now, you see someone come to Congress 60 and spend three years struggling and making an effort. They try hard, reduce their drug use, increase it again, think things over, and read the books. But deep down, they still refuse to submit. In other words, they keep doing what they themselves believe is right.
They pay attention to their Guide and even listen to what the Guide says, but in the end, they do whatever they want. There is a huge difference between obeying a command and being self-directed. If we insist on being our own authority, we will not be granted permission to leave darkness.
This is something I personally came to understand through my own experience. I am sure many other people have experienced the same thing.
Now, if we want to obey, whose commands should we follow?
Someone might say, “I recognize only God. I obey only God’s commands. Whatever He tells me to do, I will do.”
All right, then. Go and find God. Go to Him, ask Him what His command is, and carry it out!
But that is not how it works. There is a hierarchy, and when a person wants to leave darkness, they must respect that hierarchy.
There is someone who came before us and has already emerged from darkness. This person also has the desire to help others come out of darkness. They must have this essential qualification: they must have come out of darkness themselves, experienced the process, and practiced obedience. Having learned to obey, they then reach a certain level of command.
It is like a soldier who advances through the ranks and eventually becomes a senior non-commissioned officer. They have reached that rank because they learned to obey. Now, they are entrusted with a certain degree of authority. The more they have learned to obey, the more authority can be delegated to them.
This person is then entrusted with a certain power—the authority to help someone who wants to leave darkness and guide them out of it.
But the person who comes seeking to leave darkness must bring obedience with them. What matters is not how deep their darkness is, but how faithfully they put obedience into practice.
If they have this quality, the process of emerging from darkness begins. The other elements then come to their aid. Thought comes to their aid, love comes to their aid, faith comes to their aid, and other factors come together to help bring them out of darkness.

There may be favoritism or other such issues in the military, but that is not how the divine system works.
A person who is serving has the support of the Guide’s position behind them. In other words, they have backing. Do you see what I mean? A senior non-commissioned officer has an entire division behind them; a colonel has a corps behind them. They are not standing alone. They cannot simply say, “I don’t take orders from so-and-so,” and expect that to be the end of it. They represent a system.
So, that is the first essential condition.
Now, let’s look at the other side of the equation: the Guide.
It is true that the Guide has experienced darkness. Part of their being is in the light, while another part still remains in darkness. But the darkness they have transformed into light may still exist as darkness within the pupil.
Here is how the process begins. The pupil first approaches the Guide and asks to be accepted as their pupil. The Guide then agrees to accept them. Once the Guide accepts the pupil, a bond is established between them.
From that point on, the pupil is under the Guide’s command, but is also under the Guide’s protection. In other words, the pupil receives a form of support. This support may not be visible, but the Guide, mentor, or Rabb (one who guides, teaches, and nurtureshas) already pushed back that darkness and, as we say, brought it into balance.
When the pupil begins to move forward, the darkness within them starts to rebel. It tries to pull them back and draw them into darkness again. At that point, the Guide comes alongside the pupil and, when necessary, restrains that force of darkness. The Guide holds it back, keeping it at bay until the pupil can pass through that difficult stretch of the journey.
That is what is happening.
Think of the story of Prophet Moses. You have all seen the film The Ten Commandments. There is a scene in which Pharaoh’s army is pursuing the Israelites, and they reach the sea. The Israelites begin to panic and complain again. Moses is told to strike the water with his staff, and the sea parts.
As the Israelites begin to cross, the pursuing army follows them. But what happens to that army? You may remember that a wall of fire appears in front of them and holds them back. It keeps them there long enough for the Israelites to pass through that stage and reach the other side. Once they have crossed, the way is opened, and Pharaoh’s army enters the sea and drowns.
Something similar happens between the Guide and the pupil. The Guide still has some darkness within themselves, while at the same time, they sometimes restrain the darkness within the pupil.
If the pupil is unwilling to obey and breaks off that obedience, the connection between them—the bond that holds them together—is severed. At that point, the pupil is left alone with those negative forces.
Now they must face them. They must struggle with them and fight against them, and there is no guarantee that they will win. In fact, they certainly will not win every battle.
The Guide’s task is difficult. The Guide must overcome their own selfishness, their own arrogance, and their own desire for power. Their own darkness is pushing them from behind, while the pupil’s darkness is pressing against them from the front.

Have you ever noticed that a pupil sometimes tries to fool their Guide? Have you seen that happen? They try to deceive the Guide, lead them astray, distract them, or come up with justifications. It is the darkness within the pupil that is trying to mislead the Guide.
If the Guide gives in to this and follows their own lower self, then both of them fall together. This is not an easy task. The Guide must remain alert and attentive. That is why the work they do is so difficult.
When the pupil passes through that darkness, the Guide, through the work they are doing, moves closer to the command of reason. In other words, the cognizence they have acquired about addiction becomes effective cognizence, and they feel the command of reason more and more strongly within themselves.
That is what happens between a Guide and a pupil.
Now, some people raise this issue, and I have a suggestion for them as well.
We come to Congress 60 and are treated for addiction. That is one matter. But let me explain a few other things, too.
The Word of God says:
“They ask you about the Spirit. Say: The Spirit is from the command of my Lord.”
What does this mean? At the human stage of creation, the Spirit has been given to human beings.
What does the Spirit do?
Consider this: an animal cannot learn knowledge in the way a human being can. Take any animal you like. No matter how much you try to teach it knowledge, it cannot acquire knowledge in the same way we do. It may learn certain behaviors through conditioned neural associations, or, for example, you might reward a fish with food for performing certain actions. But an animal cannot understand a principle or a law, grasp its meaning, and then explain it in the way a human being can.
What enables a human being to acquire knowledge is the presence of the Spirit within them.
You see, certain things are interconnected. For example, the Word of God says that God built the seven heavens, placed the Throne above them, and has authority over them through His knowledge—He encompasses them and governs them through that knowledge.
In other words, God governs the universe through knowledge. He has mastery over it and directs it.
The same process takes place within a human being through the Spirit. The Quran speaks about all these matters. If a human being wants to govern their own being, they must possess knowledge. And the acquisition of that knowledge takes place with the help of the Spirit. The Spirit, in turn, operates under the command of the Rabb.
So, where does this ultimately lead us?
Once again, the reins are in the Guide’s hands.
If the Guide allows the Spirit to work—if they give it the strength and show the way—the Spirit awakens knowledge within the person. In other words, knowledge comes alive inside us.
Once that knowledge comes alive, we can become aware of many things and pass through the difficulties we face. What does that mean? It means that the true nature of a problem becomes clear to us.
Imagine a dark room. There may be all kinds of things inside it—even a monster—but we are not afraid because we cannot see what is there. We might even lie down beside it or put our arms around it without realizing what it is.
But when the Spirit comes and illuminates that space, everything changes. The true nature of whatever we have been living with becomes clear to us.

The same thing happens with addiction. The deceptive power of drugs lies in the fact that when we use them, certain changes take place within us, and as a result, we fail to notice many things. We do not even feel them. We may fail to recognize things that are very harmful, and we may also fail to recognize things that are good. In other words, our sense of awareness is taken away from us.
What awakens this awareness is the Spirit. This happens with the help of the Spirit. When the Spirit begins to function under the command of its Rabb, it awakens knowledge within us.
Knowledge does not simply mean going to university, taking an exam, receiving a degree, and then saying, “I am a learned person.” It does not work that way. Knowledge means understanding the laws that govern existence.
Anyone can be a person of knowledge, even a potter. For example, a potter knows how to calculate all the angles correctly to produce a proper result. Or consider someone weaving a huge carpet. They, too, must have the necessary knowledge and skill to do their work.
I used to think that anyone who went to university was a learned person, a truly educated human being, while everyone else was somehow less than that—second-class or third-class, so to speak. I did not give them much respect. Later, I realized that things were not at all as I had imagined.
The Spirit comes and illuminates a person. And once that illumination takes place, everything depends on this: when a person sees the true nature of a situation, they can then take the appropriate action.
If you see that there is a monster in the room, you will get up and move away, or do something else to protect yourself. You will take action. But first, the situation has to become clear to you.
Some people at Congress 60 have also gone through free fall—that is, they have said, in effect, “I will no longer give in to my lower self.”
Imagine that you have been using drugs for ten years and suddenly stop. Your entire physical and biological systems are thrown into disarray. You experience such intense fear that you feel completely alone, as though you have no one in the world. At that point, your own inner forces seem to turn against you.
But what is the difference in this situation? The difference is that, at least while the person is on their journey through treatment, the true nature of addiction has become clear to them.
For pupils who have not begun their journey through treatment and have no experience of withdrawal, the process is much more difficult. The reason is that they do not understand the true nature of addiction. They keep changing their tapering steps, reducing them and increasing them, without following through with the process.
For example, the Guide might tell them to undergo a three-day period of free fall, but they start bargaining: “What about 24 hours? Or 22 hours?” And in the end, they may do it for only 12 hours.
This happens because the nature of the problem has not become clear to them.
The lower self always finds ways to keep us from understanding what we are dealing with, what it really consists of, and what its true nature is.

The Guide and the pupil are doing this work. That’s how I’ve come to understand it: they are carrying out this process. If a person wants to remain at a certain level, they don’t necessarily have to do a great deal of service. They must not betray the system, of course, but if they don’t do much service, it may not make much difference. They simply remain at the same level. But if they want to experience that state within themselves—the state in which they have received support and been brought out of darkness—then they must come forward and begin helping others achieve Liberation. In other words, they must take part in the process of liberating others. If they do that, they will experience that state themselves.
In fact, one of the members asked a question about this today, and many others have asked the same question in previous sessions: “Why don’t we feel the way we did during our first journey? For example, it’s been a year since our Liberation, so why don’t we have that same feeling anymore?”
I ask them, “How many people have you helped achieve Liberation? Have you become a Guide?”
They say, “No, I haven’t done that.”
Well, then it’s only natural that the process has stopped. Until then, you were under command and moving upward. But now, you are no longer under command, and you aren’t helping anyone else come out of darkness, either. So why would you expect to keep ascending? There’s nothing surprising about it.
Let me make this final point, and then I’ll finish. This is not an easy task. It is very valuable work. The hierarchy through which a person comes out of darkness advances on the basis of being under command. A person must always—always—remain under command. They must always maintain this quality within themselves. If they want to continue coming out of darkness and leaving it behind, they need to have this characteristic.
I myself had many difficulties during my university years. My academic performance had deteriorated. At first, I was doing very well. When I started university, I was at the top of my class. But later, things got so bad that I was facing expulsion. They wanted to kick me out, and I was constantly pleading with them and trying to sort things out. It was a very difficult situation.
I realized that I didn’t really have the knowledge I needed. I wanted to be at the top and have something worthwhile to say, but I didn’t know enough to do that. I couldn’t teach the others anything, either. I realized there was nothing there that I could teach them.
So I said to myself, “All right, then. At least take what you do know and teach it somewhere else.”
I came to Congress 60 and started teaching what I knew. Once I began sharing that knowledge, some people at the university started seeking me out regularly. At first, I didn’t even understand what was happening. They kept coming to me and saying, “Come on, let us teach you this.”
I would try to avoid them. I’d tell someone to say I wasn’t home. If they called, I’d say I was in the bathroom. I’d think, “Forget it. I don’t need this.”
But eventually, I had no choice but to listen to them. They practically forced me to study. They taught me whether I wanted them to or not, and once they did, my problem was resolved. My grades improved, and I managed to finish my final year of university successfully.
This is something that happens through the act of passing knowledge on to others.
Thank you all for listening to me.

Mr. Dezhakam:
Thank you, dear Amin.
The main point, in a nutshell, is that Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise because they violated God’s command.
The second point is that, in order to learn, a person must be obedient. In other words, they must first learn how to obey. Once they have learned obedience, they can also learn how to command. Someone who has never learned to obey can never become a good commander. A good commander is someone who has first learned obedience well.
Those who respected the chain of command within the military system and were good at following orders also went on to become good commanders—under ideal conditions, that is what I mean. But those who were never obedient and suddenly found themselves in positions of command would never become good commanders.
Another point Amin raised concerns the way out of darkness. The reason we enter darkness in the first place is that we violate divine commands.
For example, among the divine commands, we are told not to use drugs because they fall under the category of khamr, or intoxicants. We are told not to lie, not to take bribes, and so on. All of these are divine commands. When you violate them, you enter darkness.
Do not harbor suspicion or think badly of others. Do not wrong people or treat what is right as wrong. Do not engage in usury, accept bribes, or backbite. Do not lie, and so on. All these are commands. When you violate them, you enter darkness.
Now, if you want to come out of darkness, you must put those commands into practice.
Once you have entered darkness, you cannot simply keep praying, making vows, offering votive gifts, or—if I may use Amin’s example—loving others and thinking things through, and expect that to solve everything. You must go back and correct the very commands you violated.
If you used to lie, you must stop lying. If you used to engage in usury, you must stop doing so and make restitution for what you have done. Whatever the violation may have been, you must return to the commands and begin following them again if you want to come out of darkness.
The other point Amin raised was that when God breathed the Spirit into the human being, He said, “Say: The Spirit is from the command of my Lord.”
The Spirit, which is a manifestation of knowledge, science, knowing, awareness, and all these things, operates under the command of the Rabb.
One meaning of Rabb is a nurturer, instructor, or teacher. On the other hand, we say, “Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-Alamin”—“Praise be to God, the Lord of all worlds.” Here, we have the Rabb of all worlds. We also speak of the Supreme Rabb, the Greatest Rabb. But there are also Rabb at lower levels. In other words, a teacher can also be a Rabb.
So, when the verse says that the Spirit is under the command of the Rabb, it means that the Spirit operates under the command of the one who nurtures and teaches. A person can advance only through a Rabb—a nurturer, instructor, or teacher.
When a person wants to progress, they must be obedient. If they are not obedient, they cannot reach that promised destination.
In any case, thank you, dear Amin. Thank you very much.
