A man came to Nasreddin who wanted to become his student. After many adventures, he reached the hut in the mountains where Nasreddin lived. Knowing that every action of an enlightened Sufi is full of meaning, the newcomer asked Nasreddin why he blew on his hands. “To keep warm, of course,” Mulla replied.
Soon after, Nasrudin poured two cups of soup and blew on his soup. “Why are you doing this, master?” - asked the student. “To cool the soup, of course,” the teacher answered.
After this, the student left Nasrudin because he could no longer trust a person who used the same means to achieve different results.
