Fourth Curious Question
They ask: “Since what you hold in your hand is light, not a club, and light may not be objected to, nor fled from, nor can harm come from showing it, why do you advise caution to your friends, and prevent them showing many light‑filled parts of the Risale‑i Nur to people?”
A brief reply to the question is this: the heads of most of those at the top are drunk and they cannot read them. And even if they do read them, they cannot understand them; they give them the wrong meaning, and interfere. They should not be shown them until they come to their senses lest they interfere.
There are also many unscrupulous people who out of spite or ambition or fear, deny the light or close their eyes to it. Therefore, I advise my brothers to be cautious and not to give the truths to those who are unfit, or do things which excite the suspicions of ‘the worldly.’
