Nasreddin was delivering a sermon, and someone asked him a tricky question.
“I don’t know,” Nasreddin answered.
- Why then did you climb onto the minbar? — the listener did not let up, and Nasreddin snapped:
“My knowledge has elevated me to minbar. If I wanted to climb to the heights of my ignorance, I would have to build a minbar up to the sky.
