Moses pbuh lost the junction of the two seas (the Virtuous Servant) although he was prepared to spend a long lifetime in search of him.

Moses lost sight of his goal and he did not recognize him although he was sitting near him.

Moses pbuh missed his goal although he passed right by it, and in this, there is an overwhelming lesson for Moses pbuh and for each person walking in the path of Allah swt.

As for Moses pbuh, he took his lesson then. And he knew that losing the target was possible even with the exaggeration with which he was requesting it and the intensity of caring for it. This is the reason why he was broken when he returned to the Virtuous Servant whom he missed, and it is perhaps possible that we say that when he passed near this man, he did not imagine that he [the Virtuous Servant] was the goal whom he was requesting and this was the first lesson for Moses pbuh; because of the degree to which he turned towards himself and became preoccupied with himself, he lost sight of him. Thus when he returned, he spoke to the Virtuous Servant with the language of a guilty man,

“Will you accept that after I had lost you, even though I was near to you, that I accompany you and learn from you?”

﴾“Shall I follow you, so that you may teach me from that which you had been taught in guidance?”﴿

As for us, we must learn a lesson from what had happened to Moses pbuh with the Virtuous Servant. So if Moses pbuh would, with the intensity of his request for the Virtuous Servant, such that he made it a normal matter to spend a lifetime in search of him, meaning that he decided that his meeting of the Virtuous Servant is a great matter with which it is easy to spend ages in search of him, yet he still passed near him and did not recognize him, so is it possible that they will lose their goal, those who request the Virtuous Servant today? Considering that they are not like Moses pbuh, not from the standpoint of sincerity nor from the standpoint of concern which has made Moses pbuh see that spending ages wandering and persisting in search is a small matter if it will result in his meeting of the Virtuous Servant, so is it possible that each person, who is sane and fears the evil consequence, asks himself this question?
