THE STORY

REAL TEARS
-----------
Once a man decided to go to his brother's house for a visit. His brother was very generous to him and he spent a good time there. "How is life treating you?" asked his brother. The visitor replied: "I have got myself into debt and the man, to whom I owe the money, is demanding that I pay it back right now. I don't have any money at the moment, so how can I repay him? For this reason, I decided to come to you. I hope you can help me."

Without any hesitation, the host got up and gave him the money. Feeling very grateful, the man left. After he left, the host started to weep. "Why didn't you simply apologize and give him some excuse. You needn't have given him anything," said his wife. "No! I'm not crying because he took my money. Rather I'm crying because I did not ask him about his situation and waited untill he himself asked. I should have given him before he asked!" the man explained.

He shook his head and sat down quietly, thinking to himself that in the future he would try to be more caring about the people around him.

 
SUNNAH (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW)
When a drink was served in a gathering, then each time the jug returned for refilling, Rasulullah SAW would see that the round carried on from the same person where they had left off.

A THOUGHT

WHAT IS IT THAT IS SEEN?
The ocean of Reason is not seen; reasoning men are seen; but our forms (minds) are only as waves or spray thereof. Whatever form that ocean uses as its instrument, therewith it casts its spray far and wide.

Till the heart sees the Giver of the secret, till it espies that Bowman shooting from afar, it fancies its own steed lost, while in bewilderment it is urging that steed hither and thither.

It fancies its own steed lost, when all the while that swift steed is bearing it on like the wind. [MATHNAWI]

 
THE SMILE

THE GOLF BALL
Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants exploded from the spot. Everything but the golfball. It sat in the same spot.

So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying again. The golf ball didn't even wiggle.

Two ants survived. One dazed ant said to the other, "Whoa! What are we going to do?"

Said the other ant: "I don't know about you, but I'm going to get on the ball."
