Sufi Story No.3

Once a Wiseman met a Sufi.
The Sufi asked the Wiseman, ‘Can I help you in any way?’
The Wiseman replied, ‘I have come alone and I will go alone, what you can do in this.’
The Sufi replied ‘I can show you the way on which there is no coming and no going.’

This is not Home......

One of the Hadis-e-Nabvi(SAW) Says:

Be in this world as if you are a traveller, a passer-by, with your clothes and shoes full of dust. Sometimes you sit under the shade of a tree, sometimes you walk in the desert. Be always a passer-by, for this is not home.

- Hadith (Sayings of Prophet SAW)

The Mystic,The Earth,The Cloud,The Rain......

Hazrat Bayazid Bistami R.A. said-



A man will not be a mystic until he is like the earth—
both the righteous and the sinner tread upon it,






And until he is like the clouds—they shade all things,





And until he is like the rain—it waters all things,
whether it loves them or not.

You walk,HE runs

If you walk towards HIM(ALLAH),HE comes to you running.

-Hadis e Nabvi (S.A.W.)

The Secret Teacher

A quote from Idries Shah's "The Secret" in Special Illumination:

Someone asked a self-styled Sufi,"Are You the Secret Teacher ?"

"Yes",he replied.

"But you don't know anything about Sufi teaching."

"That's right-but that is the Secret"
