A blind dervish sat in the shadow of the temple. “This is a great sage,” people said about him. One curious person approached him and asked:
- Oh, most respected one, forgive me for my question, but how did you become blind?
“I am blind from birth,” answered the old man.
—Which path of wisdom do you follow? — the passer-by continued to ask.
“I am an astronomer,” answered the sage. — I watch the sun and stars.
A silent question froze in the man's eyes.
“They are here,” the elder added, placing his hand on his chest.
