A sufi saint set out on a pilgrimage to Mecca. At the outskirts of the city he lay down by the road, exhausted from his journey. He had barely fallen asleep when he was brusquely awakened by an irate pilgrim. "This is the time when all believers bow their heads towards Mecca and you have your feet pointing towards the holy shrine. What kind of Muslim are you

?''

The sufi did not move: he merely opened his eyes and said, "Brother, would you do me the favour of placing my feet in the direction where the Lord is not present?"


As God is everywhere, all directions are auspicious for doing good work.
