Once a group of Faqirs were going along with their Murshid (The Guide) and while going with him, they had to go from one street to another and from one lane to another.
All of them very obediently were following him in the travel and by doing so they reached a lane which was very dirty and there were all types of dirt including human feces having very bad and offensive smell.
The Guide moved in the lane without covering his nose while the following Faqirs put hankies near their nostrils to stop the bad smell entering into their noses.
The Guide looked back and found that all his followers are having their noses covered lest bad smell may enter into their nostrils.
The Guide asked the question as to why they had covered their noses in the lane while no such thing was done by them at other places or lanes, while traveling with him.
The Faqirs in unison replied that the human feces were giving very bad smell and they did not bear it and so they tried to cover their noses by the handkerchiefs’.
The Divine Guide said,” So! This is the cause of closing your nose. Yes! This must be the cause. Then why we should not ask from the same human feces as to why there is so much bad smell coming out of you?”
The divine Guide performed the same thing as he had declared and asked the question from the Human feces.
The human feces replied in unison that these were not so one day earlier. These feces further added that these were fruits of different colours and shades with all aromas coming from these. These were tasty, pleasant to look and human beings who sold these or purchased these took these fruits, meat, grains, vegetables and all other things to their respective homes, cooked and ate and after 12 or more hours threw us out of their bodies in the shape (feces) you are looking and seeing us.
On this detailed account, rendered by the human feces, all Faqirs were so ashamed that they could not utter a word and just thought that our company, of these fragrant, nice looking and aromatic things made them so bad, so offensive smelling that everyone hates it now but O! Faqir who needs to be shunned the fragrant things or the Human Being who made it to reach to this position! O Man! What a friend and company you are!
O! Man looks what you are and what is your position in the whole CREATION? So, be within your own sobriety and contentment!!!
