It is said that two disciples of the Sufi Path were arguing about Man.
The first one said:
— Man comprehends the Truth through his own efforts and searches. Starting from ignorance, he progresses and becomes knowledgeable.
The second one said:
— A person comprehends the Truth only under the guidance of an experienced Master.
The matter had almost reached the point of fists, and they were moving further and further from solving their problem when they noticed a Sufi passing by. They decided to ask him:
—Speak on this matter? he asked.
“Yes, if possible,” they asked.
- Great. I suppose each of you has seen how dogs fight over a bone?
- Yes.
- But have you ever seen a bone enter into their dispute? Think about it.
