drawrof Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Haji Bektash once related the following story: A dervish once approached his master, Hoja Ahmad Yasawi, and asked him,"O Master! Tell me what id the meaning of Oneness?" The saint did not answer but only told the dervish to bring a big cube of sugar. After he brought it, Hoja Ahmad Yasawi asked, "What is this?" "It is sugar my master," said the dervish. Then the Hoja ordered him to break it into three pieces. The dervish did that and Ahmad Yasawi asked, "What do the shapes of these pieces look like to you?" The dervish said, "Well, this one looks like a camel, that one looks like a horse and the last one looks like a man." The saint took the pieces and ground them into power. He then asked the dervish, "What is it now?" The dervish replied, "It is sugar, may master." Hoja Ahmad Yasawi then explained, "This is Oneness. We are here today and we will be here tomorrow, no matter how our shapes change." (Kitab al-Fawa'id, Advice #3) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
