In His Name, be He glorified!
Our Master says:
“I tell my dear brothers who wish to meet with me: As long as there is no necessity, I no longer have the endurance to meet with people, and cannot speak much owing to being poisoned, weakness, old age, and illness. But I tell you with all certainty that every part of the Risale‑i Nur is a Said. Whichever book you look at, you will profit ten times more than meeting with me face to face, and will meet with me in reality. I have decided that every morning I shall include in my prayers those who wanted to meet with me for God's sake but were unable to, and I shall continue to do so.”
For the past month or two now our Master is unable to speak with his helpers even. His temperature rises when he starts to speak. He explained the wisdom in this as follows as a result of a warning he received:
“The Risale‑i Nur leaves no need for me. No need remains for me to speak. Also, I can speak with only twenty or thirty out of the thousands of my friends. There is a powerful possibility that I have been prevented from speaking so as not to offend thousands of people for the sake of twenty. They should excuse me for not meeting with them personally.” I could not endure to shake hands at the festival even and be looked at. So no one should feel offended.
