A Sufi Story

Once upon a time, a fox that lost its legs lived in a forest. A forester who used to hunt saw the animal and wondered how it got its food. One day, he noticed a tiger approaching. The beast was dragging a fresh kill behind. It lay down on its favorite spot – incidentally, near the fox hole – and gorged on the meat. After its belly was full, it got up and rambled away. The fox ate the rest.

This happened repeatedly.

The man thought: “This is indeed mysterious. It must be the god that instructs the tiger to bring the fox, food. I’m a staunch believer in god and if I sit in a corner without hunting, I’m sure I will also receive divine kindness”.

Days passed and he starved and became skin and bones. As he was dying, he heard a voice:

“See the Truth! Why didn’t you follow the example of that tiger instead of imitating the fox”

(And Rumi said “You have feet; why pretend that you’re a lame?)

Amazing sir.  How we interpret is important, here the forester misinterpreted.  The misinterpretations of the religious preachings ruining the world today.
