The Bottles of The Blind
Once
upon a time, there was a young man who couldn’t see well. He saw everything in
pairs and that had brought many difficulties to him. One day a master employed
him as a helper. He worked hard and tried to get his money in a pious away. One
day, the master said to him:
-
My son! Go fast to my home! On the shaft, you will find a bottle, take it and
bring it here as fast as possible.
He
went at his master home running. On entering the house, with astonishment he saw
that there were two bottles instead of one. Confused, he didn’t know which one
to take. He decide to go back at the workshop and ask the master again.
The
master told him: - My son! If you cannot see well and you can see two bottles
instead of one, I ma telling you, on that shaft is only one bottle.
-
No, master, -replied the young man, - there were two bottles.
The
master angrily said:
-
If it is so, go back at my home. Brake one of the bottles and the other bring it
here.
The
young man went quickly at his house. Took one of the bottles and broke it, but
astonishingly, the other bottle broke, too!
-
Oops! –said the young man. – My master was right. There was only one bottle.
People like me are many, who do not accept the truth as it is. Because of their
heart blindness they see everything in pairs, and so they take they wrong way.
Instead of accepting Allah as One, they make for friend the Satan and follow his
way. The Right Path is one and alone. Instead of following the way of Islam, as
it is named by it Creator, the follow the way of fire.
Woe
to those broken bottles!
