A visit to a Sufi teacher when the students face this always looked glum. "Why do you always glum, I? Is not it beautiful in this world? Where retinue bersyukurmu face?" The teacher asked.

"Teachers, recently my life full of problems. It is difficult for me to smile. The problem comes as no timeless," replied the young students.

The Teachers terkekeh. "BUT, take a glass of water and two to hold the salt. Bring aboard. Let kuperbaiki atmosphere heart is." The students moved slowly, without any spirit. He conducted the teachers request it, and then back again to bring cups and salt as required.

"Try to take handful of salt, and insert it into a glass of water," said the teacher. "After that you try a little drink the water." The students also do so. Women now drink grimace as the salty water.
"How does it taste?" The question Teachers.

"Salt, nausea and Subscribe so," replied the student with a face that still grimace.

The teachers giggle see the faces of the students keasinan grimace.

"Now you take it." The teachers take the students to the lake near their place. "Take the remaining salt, and tebarkan to the lake." The students spread the remaining handful of salt to the lake, without talking. Salty taste in the mouth, not lost. He wants to spit the salty taste of his mouth, but I do. It seems polite mursyid spit in the face, so it.

"Now, you try to drink the lake water," said the teacher while searching for a fairly flat stone for didudukinya, right on the lake.

The students cover both hands, take the lake water, and bring them to his mouth and meneguknya. When the lake water is cold and fresh flows in tenggorokannya, the teacher asked him, "How does it taste?"

"Fresh, fresh, once," said the student while dust lips with the back of your hand. Of course, the lake is derived from the flow of water resources in there. And the water flows into a small river below. And certainly, the lake water is also remove the remaining salty taste in his mouth.

"Terasakah taste of salt that it was tebarkan?"

"Not at all," said the student while taking water and drinks again. The teachers have only a smile, let the students drink the lake water until satisfied.

"BUT," said the teacher after students finished drinking. "Any problems in life, such as the handful of salt. Not less, not more. Only a handful of salt. Too many problems and suffering that you should naturally throughout life is dikadar by God, according to yourselves. Fixed amount, of the just-might need, not reduced and do not increase. Every human being is born into this world so. No one man, although he was a prophet, which is free from suffering and problems. "

The students silent, listening.

"But Goodman,` salty taste 'of the suffering that is experienced depends on the size of the' Qalbu '(heart) the intermediate. So Goodman, so do not feel suffering, so stop glass. Qalbu in dadamu Make it so the lake. "
