And who are the strangers? Wants, desires, thoughts!
They are all so compressed within you that they leave no room for God the Beloved, whom you would invite in.
As the strangers begin to leave the heart, it becomes cleaner and purer. Then God peeks into it, and His all-loving glance wipes out all worries. And the glimpse of God that one experiences leaves no scope for any doubts about His sweet will that manifests through “good” and “bad” times.
