The Lamplit Path

Murshid: Instead of trying to see too far ahead, you must learn to focus on your next steps.
After dark on the path a young student was afraid of where he walked with his mystic teacher.

“Learn to let the light from this small lantern be your teacher. You need only see the next few steps it shows you.”
Pin the Tale: Where do you find yourself trying to see too far ahead?
