Question

Once there was a great Sufi saint. In his last days, someone asked him about his master. The saint said, “Since you asked, I will certainly tell you about two masters.”

The first master was a thief.

Once I got lost and when I found a way and reached the village it was too late.1. At last I found a man who was trying to make a hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied, “It will be difficult, but you can stay with me if it’s OK with you to stay with a thief.”2..Each night he would say, “I am going to work .You can rest and pray.” When he came back, I would ask him, “3.”H e would reply, “No, not tonight but tomorrow I will try again. God Willing.” He never lost hope and he was always happy. One month later, I left the thief.

When I got hopeless I would remember words of that thief - God willing. Tomorrow It is going to happen.

The second master was a dog.

Once I was going along the side of a river, I saw a dog that was very thirsty. I saw that as the dog looked into river to drink water, he saw his own image and got afraid. 4. But because the dog was too thirsty he would come hack. This happened many times but finally despite his fear, the dog jumped into water.

Seeing this I knew that it was a message from God. 5.
