Beard, cloak and rosary

by
Beard, cloak and rosary
Enlight

One man with an unkempt beard and unwashed hair, dressed in a cloak with a hood, with a rosary around his neck, walked around the city. Unable to contain his delight, he declared to one and all that he was a “Sufi.”

Then a real Sufi approached him and asked:

- Why are you doing this?

The man replied that he was following an ancient instruction written for followers of Sufi teachings, and showed the book.

- But the book was written several centuries ago and has long been outdated!

“It’s very possible,” agreed the “Sufi,” but I only found it last month!
