Excuse
People are used to run away from realities by justifying and convincing themselves. When they are reminded of their duty - from within or from without - they go to great length to find excuses to evade troubles of serving the Lord through guiding others. Most frequent excuses one uses to put off [what one has to do] are pretexts like, "Wait for a while and begin later;" "Let's finish that job first, you could get on with the other in a much better and easier way;" "You dont dispose of sufficient means;" "This is a hard thing to do, you are not enough strong to do it;" "You first take care of you own problems and then get involved with others' troubles;" "Im still not enough instructed, how could I instruct others?" "I'm still not [completely] awaken, how could I wake people up?" "Someone has to guide me first, and "then" I shall be able to guide others."
Yet we can serve our Lord without uttering a single word and call people's attention to their Creator. Dont wait for someone to else to make you move along the divine path; but be first to step forward. If you take one step, He shall take twelve steps [toward you]. Were we to know one single word and would we teach it to others, it could act as a keyword and contribute to discover the whole truth. Even if we knew but a single word and we would teach it to others, the impact of its comprehension could contribute to discover the whole truth.
