            sonably, doing it once or twice. They can lose such people in an in-
            stant. For that reason it seems almost impossible to maintain the
            bonds of true love among people, and this can be seen only very,
            very rarely. In other words, many people in the world face this prob-
            lem. If you ask, as I was saying just yesterday, they will say they

            have one real friend, or maybe two, that is all. One needs great care
            and attention for true love to flourish, because unless people are
            very wise, very careful and attentive, and unless they know the oth-
            er person really well, they will constantly clash and begin to behave
            in a way that they find repulsive. Ignorance, for instance, has a very
            negative effect on people, but a wise person avoids ignorance, and
            knows that if he loves the other person he can educate that ignorance

            and increase their store of knowledge. But people do not regard ig-
            norance as important. Yet it has a huge negative effect. Irrationality
            has a negative effect, but one can educate ignorance out of people if
            one loves. The important thing is to decide to love. If you educate
            someone, their ignorance can vanish, irrationality can vanish, be-
            cause once one follows the Qur'an one also becomes highly rational.
            One has to educate them patiently, and direct them in such a way
            that they will love Allah. It is very dangerous to try and make some-
            one love you; that is always futile in the end. That is how it is. But

            someone who causes another to love Allah also makes them love
            him. In other words, one needs to direct people to the
            source of true love, not to insist that they love us.
            Once they love Allah, they will love the other
            person as a manifestation of
            Allah.  (Kayseri TV,
