Sufi Story No.1

In a small town there was a man who always criticized Sufis. A Sufi pir in the town heard about him and called him.
He gave that man a stone and told him to go in the town market and sell it for ten coins. The man replied that nobody will buy it for even one coin. On Sufi pir's insistence the man tried but nobody purchased it.
Now the Pir told the man to go the nearby city and sell the stone for whatever price he gets. The man came back and told that he got thousand coins in selling the stone which was purchased by a diamond merchant, who told that actually that stone was a diamond.
The Sufi pir told the man “Your knowledge of the Sufis is similar to the town people’s knowledge about diamonds.”
