IMAM GHAZALI
 

Divine Knowledge 

The question of the divine love is so profound that it is known to only a few who have it.

 

A child has no information about the achievements of adults. An ordinary adult cannot understand attainments of an adult.

 

In the same way, an educated man cannot yet understand the experience of enlightened saints or Sufis.

The sick man

 

To the sick man, sweet mater tastes bitter in the mouth.

 

The Infertile Woman

 

The man went to a doctor and told him that his wife has become sterile and cannot have children anymore.

 

The doctor felt her pulse and told her:

‘ I cannot treat you and in any case you will die within forty days’

 

The woman was in total disdain as she left However after forty day she did not die as said by the doctor.

 

Her husband took her again to the same doctor and told him. The doctor remarked:

 

‘I knew that she would not die within forty days. Actually you wife could not bear a child because she was too fat. I knew that the only thing hat could keep her away from food is the fear od the death. Now she is cured and not sterile anymore’

 

The question of knowledge is the most dangerous one.
