More

 I love istafada for so many reasons. I learn and I gain an impression (asar) throughout. What amazes me is that so does everyone else. 

It doesn’t matter who it is. I sat next to a khidmat guzar who does khidmat full time. He left day one with a similar asar. On my other side, there was an old guy who was maybe 75. He seemed to get the same. 

We’re all different places. I get that both rationally and subconsciously. 

I always knew there were layers. I’m learning more than ever. What is very apparent for me this year is that if you do more you learn more. And if you learn more you do more. It’s a beautiful cycle. 

I’m also realizing that this doesn’t necessarily happen at the same time. 

Taher, do more now and you’ll learn more at some point.
