Looking forward to the guest

“Looking forward to a baby”, does not mean not to endure the pain of labor [birth].

[Or] “Looking forward to get the championship medal”, does not mean not to practice hard.

[And] “Looking forward to reach the summit”, does not mean not to withstand the climbing effort.

[Again] “Looking forward to the sunshine”, does not mean to stay in darkness and freeze from frost…

“To look forward to something” is not just a having an emotion in heart, [but] it is a flow.

When you are looking forward to a guess and someone knocks at the door, you don’t sleep or ask [yourself] “Who’s it?”

The one who is looking forward to a guest, s/ he cleans vegetables, sweeps the house and spreads the tablecloth [as instances].

 

[Well] Imam Zamān (mgehr) does not need an incapable friend!
