It is difficult for every lover of truth and truth-thought to say that a small cluster is like the mighty Damavand mountain.

This powerful couplet by Allama Iqbal speaks to the difficulty of genuine spiritual insight. The 'Haq-been' (seer of Truth) and 'Haq-andesh' (thinker of Truth) are rare. Iqbal suggests that trying to guide or teach such a person is like asking a mighty mountain (Damawand) to describe a fragile clump of grass. Their understanding is so profound that our mere attempts at explanation fall short.
