176.It means this is the time for separation. Your objection has become the cause of our separation. From this we learn that the religious guide and the teacher should overlook one or two mistakes of their mureeds (disciples) and students respectively. They should not be separated at their first mistake.

178. It should be remembered that Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) had shown further desire to be under the tutelage of Hazrat Khizr (On whom be peace), but did not put this into practice. Neither did he act upon this knowledge thereafter. The purpose of all this was that Allah Almighty wanted to show Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) that there are people who possess greater knowledge than him.
