The Sufi sage Abdulalim from Fiz refused to teach, but from time to time he gave people advice on how to continue the Path.
One day he was visited by a student who was incapable of learning and regularly fell into an abnormal state when attending “mystical ceremonies.” He asked:
How can I get the most benefit from the teachings of the sages?
The Sufi replied:
- I am glad that I can tell you that I know the right method that suits your capabilities.
- What is this if I am allowed to know about it?
- Just close your ears and think about radishes.
— Before, during or after lectures and exercises?
- Instead of them!
