The Sufi tradition is very old, deep wisdom that is reflected in all religions, although dissenting from them.
At the same time is a modern science can be applied at any time, any situation. The Sufi wisdom does not need to be registered in any stream can be followed by anyone regardless of their status, does not require withdrawal from the world and their problems, but otherwise uses all the problems inentar help people to evolve.
stories are transmitted in a very natural knowledge and messages and are used by every culture on earth.
The stories show the ideas in a simple but profound, easy way that does not require great mental musings that are otherwise difficult to explain, understand and share. The stories are accepted with the heart not the mind. We must not interpret or decode to understand what you mean, you just have to let subtle effect occurs when we read to us themselves or others.
Dinner Wizard
There once was a magician who built a home near a great and prosperous. One day he invited the villagers to eat at home.
"Before dinner, he said, have some entertainment.
The idea pleased everyone and the magician made a first class show, where he got rabbits top hats, banners appeared in the air and turned things around in others. People were fascinated. The magician asked
- Do you want dinner now or want more entertainment?.
All requested more tricks they had never seen anything like it. So the magician turned into a dove, then a hawk and then a dragon. People went wild with excitement. He asked again and asked for more and more received. Then he asked if they wanted to eat and they said yes. The magician then made them feel that they were eating distracting with lots of tips through his powers. Dinner imaginary and tricks continued all night. When dawn was breaking some said
"We must go to work.
then made to imagine that they went to their house and were preparing to go to work and actually did their usual activities. And so, whenever someone said I had to do something the magician made her think she did and after dinner returned to the magician.
Over time the magician had woven such a spell on the villagers who all worked for him as they thought they continued their lives forever. When he felt restless made them think they were having dinner at home again and this gave them pleasure and made them forget.
What happened to the magician and the common people? This can not be said, is something that can not speak because he is engaged in the same, and most people are still under its spell.
