Translations:On Yedinci Lem'a/149/en

In his voluntary actions man should not think of the results which pertain to Almighty God. For example, for some of our brothers, when people join the Risale-i Nur it fires their enthusiasm and makes them increase their efforts. Then when others do not listen, the weak ones among them become demoralized and their enthusiasm wanes somewhat. Whereas God’s Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace), who was the Absolute Master, Universal Leader, and Perfect Guide, took as his absolute guide the divine decree,No more is the Messenger bound to do than deliver the message,(5:99) and when people held back and did not listen, conveyed the message with greater effort, endeavour, and earnestness. For in accordance with the verse,It is true you will not be able to guide everyone whom you love; but God guides those whom He will,(28:56) he understood that making people listen and guiding them was Almighty God’s concern. And he did not interfere in God’s concerns.
