OncetherewasagreatSufisaint.Inhislastdays,someoneaskedhimabouthismaster.Saintsaid, “SinceyouaskedIwillcertainlytellyouaboutthreemasters.”

曾经有一位伟大的苏菲派圣人。在他生命快结束时,有人让他说说他的老师。圣人说:“既然你问了,我就给你讲讲我的三位老师。”

Amongthreeofthemonemasterwasathief.

这三个人中有一个是小偷。

OncewhilewanderingaroundinadesertIgotlostandtillIfoundawayandreachedthevillageitwastoolate.Everythingwasclosedandtherewasnooneoutside.Atlast,Ifoundamanwhowastryingtomakeaholeinawall.IaskedhimifIcouldfindaplacetostay.Herepliedthatitwillbedifficulttofindaplacetostayatthistimeofnightbutyoucanstaywithmeifitsokwithyoutostaywithathief.Istayedwithhimforamonth.

曾经有一次我在沙漠中迷路了,后来我找到一条路,走到村子时已经很晚了。所有店门都关了,外面一个人都没有。最后我发现有一个人正在墙上挖洞,我问他我能否找到一个歇脚的地方,他说这么晚了很难找到待的地方,但如果我愿意和小偷待在一起的话我可以和他一起。然后我和他一起待了一个月。

Eachnighthewouldsaytomethat, “Iamgoingtowork.Youcanrestandpray.”WhenhecamebackIwouldaskhim, “Didyougetanythingtoday?”Hewouldreply, “NonottonightbuttomorrowIwilltryagain.GodWilling.”Evenafterdailydisappointmentheneverlosthopeandhewasalwayshappy.

每天晚上他都跟我说:“我要去工作了,你可以休息祈祷。”他回来时我会问他:“你今天有收获吗?”他回答说:“今晚没有收获,但明天我会再试试,上天保佑。”甚至在每天都很失望的时候,他也从未失去希望,总是很开心。

WhenIwasmeditatingforyearsandstillnothingchanged,manymomentscamewhenIwouldgetsodesperateandhopelessthatIthoughtofleavingallthisandthensuddenlyIwouldrememberwordsofthatthiefthat, “Godwilling,tomorrowitisgoingtohappen. ”

我冥想好多年仍没进展时,有好多次我都很绝望,看不到一丝希望,我想过要放弃所有,但我会突然想起那个小偷的话:“上天保佑,明天梦想就能实现。”


Secondmasterwasadog

第二位老师是一只狗

OnceIwasgoingalongsideofariver,thereIsawadogwhowasverythirsty.Isawthatasdoglookedintorivertodrinkwater,itsawhisownimageandgotafraid.Seeinghisownreflectiondogbarkedandranaway.Butbecausedogwastoothirstyhewouldcomeback.Thishappenedmanytimebutfinallydespitehisfear,dogjumpedintowater.

有一次我沿着河边走,看见一只狗很渴。每次这只狗看向水里想要喝水时,它都会看见自己的倒影,很害怕。看着自己的倒影狗就叫着跑开。但它实在太渴了,还得回来。这样重复了好多次,但最终虽然仍然恐惧,但它跳进了河里。

SeeingthisIknewthatitwasamessagefromGod.Itmeansthatonehastogoforwarddespiteallofhisfears.

看到这些,我知道了这是上帝的暗示,意思是一个人要战胜所有恐惧勇往直前。


Thirdmasterwasalittleboy

第三位老师是一个小男孩
