The work of Cupid...

The work of the spiritual teacher is like the
work of Cupid.

The work of Cupid is to bring
two souls together;

and so is the work of the
spiritual teacher: to bring together the soul and
God.

But what is taught to the one who seeks
after truth?

Nothing is taught.

He is only shown
how he should learn from God.

For no man
can ever teach spirituality;

it is God alone who
teaches it.
