words of wisdom - "Know the capacity of one to whom you speak"

O man, know the capacity,
The maturity and the qualities
Of one to whom you speak
And then speak wisdom.
Otherwise your words of wisdom
Will fall like rain on a barren desert.
Nothing will grow

Muhaiyaddeen, M.R. Bawa. "The Golden Words of a Sufi Sheikh". Philadelphia:Fellowship Press, 1981,2006
