Le Marabout Errant: Can you describe this "path" or "practice" that you call the "Malamati Way"?
Dervish Baba: Others have written of it. Read their books.
LME: I have been reading, but I would like to hear it described by someone who claims it as their own.
DB: I don't "claim it as my own." It may claim me...Perhaps you have not read enough.
LME: I plan to read more, but could you not say a few words that would assist my understanding?
DB: Words will only increase the noise in your heart and add to your confusion.
LME: Is there nothing that you can tell me?
DB: Yes, of course, there is plenty. But why do you insist on putting me in an awkward position?
LME: I don't see how my curiosity places you in any kind of position at all.
DB: (silence).
