About This Quote
Many are they who seek to guide other to the path yet they themselves are lost, a quote from a poem by a man named Ibn-e-Arabi. He was a mystic and a poet from the time of the Ottoman Empire. He was the founder of the School of Letters, which is still being taught today. In his book “The Sword of Allah,” he says that all those who seek to guide others fall into error themselves.
The one who seeks guidance from others is at risk of falling into error himself. The guide should not try to help other because he might end up falling himself. It is better to rely on oneself and do what is right.
