A visit to a Sufi teacher when his face has always looked glum.
"Why do you always wistful, bud? Not a lot of beautiful things in this world? Where perginya face bersyukurmu? "The teacher said.
"Teacher, this latter problem of my life. It's hard for me to smile.
The problem comes as there is no timeless, "answered the young students.
The Teacher terkekeh. "Nak, take a glass of water and two hold the salt. Bring here. Let your heart kuperbaiki the atmosphere. "
The students also go slow without enthusiasm. He conducted the teacher demand, and bring back glass and salt as required.
"Try to take handful of salt, and a glass of water to enter it," said the teacher.
"After that you try to drink a little water."
The students also do so. Now face grimace as the salt water.
"How does it taste?" Ask the teacher.
"Salt, nausea and perutku so," answered the student's face with a still grimace.
The Teacher giggle to see that his face grimace keasinan.
"Now you follow me." The teachers bring students to the lake near their place. "Take the remaining salt, and tebarkan to the lake."
The students spread the remaining handful of salt to the lake, without speaking. Salty taste in the mouth has not been lost. She wanted to spit from the mouth, bitter taste, but never do. It's not polite Mursyid spit in the face, so pikirnya.
"Now, you try to drink the lake water," said the teacher while looking for a relatively flat stone for didudukinya, right on the lake edge.
The students cover both hands, take the lake water, and bring them to mouth meneguknya ago. When the lake water is cool and fresh in the flow tenggorokannya, the Guru asked him, "How does it taste?"
"Fresh, very fresh," said the student, while dust lips with the back hand. Of course, the lake is derived from the flow of water over there.
And water flows into a small river below. And certainly, the lake water is also a bitter taste left in the mouth.
"Terasakah taste the salt that you tebarkan earlier?"
"Not at all," said the student while taking the water and meminumnya again.
The only smile memperhatikannya Teachers, students leave the lake until the water content.
"Nak," said the teacher after the students finished drinking. "All problems in life such as the handful of salt. Not less, not more. Only a handful of salt. The many problems and suffering that you have experienced throughout kehidupanmu was dikadar by God, according to yourself. The amount is fixed, segitu-segitu course, is not reduced and not increased. Every man who
born to this world is so. No one man, even though he was a prophet, who is free from suffering and problems. "
The students speechless, listening. "But Nak, think 'salt' from the suffering that is experienced depends on the size of the qalbu the menampungnya. So Nak, so do not feel suffering, so stop glass. Make qalbu in dadamu of the lake is so. "
