Sufi parable from Sanaya One man, seeing a camel in a meadow, began to reproach it for having a crooked neck. The camel answered him:
- Don't blame me for my crookedness. Let me walk in front of you along a straight path, and you will see how my neck straightens, and you will understand that its curvature was created for a specific purpose. So is the bow: if it were not crooked, how could it straighten itself, sending an arrow?
Another person overheard their conversation and said:
“A good freak is always beautiful for reasonable people, and they will never reproach him for his ugliness.”
