MahatmaGandhi: "Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love"

Sufi Story

Shibli entered a profound mystical state and was placed in an

asylum as a madman. As soon as they heard, his shocked disciples

come to visit him.

Shibli asked, "Who are you?"

"We are some of those who love and follow you."

Shibli began throwing stones at his students. They began to

run away, crying, "It's true. Shibli really has gone crazy."

Then Shibli called out to them, "Didn't I hear you say that

you loved me? You could not even bear a stone or two before

running away. What became of that sincere love you claimed

you had for me? Did your love fly away with a couple of stones?

If you had really loved me, you would have patiently endured

the little bit of discomfort I caused you."
