Sufi Story No.2

Once a merchant visited a sufi fakeer.The merchant was very fond of eating.

He discussed various things with the sufi regarding spritualism.Asked various qustions.

One question was-What is the indication of true sufi?

A camel was passing by,the sufi fakeer asked the person"See this camel.What comes into your mind?"

The merchant replied"A plate full of Biryani"

Sufi asked"Only people from Arab eat camel meat and you are not from Arabia,then why biryani came into your mind by seeing the camel?"

The merchant replied"I am so fond of food that Whatever I see,it looks to me as Biryani"

The sufi replied"A true sufi is similar,whatever he sees,wherever he sees-he sees Allah"
