Sufi story

A man broken hearted by all the suffering and sorrow he saw in the world. He sat by the roadside and began to beat the earth. He saw the sky and yells at God. "Look at this mess. Look at all this pain. Look at all this killing and hatred. God, Oh God, why don't you do something!?"

And God said, "I did do something. I sent you."



This is taken from Sufi Stories of Islam. Sufism is branch of Islam which talks about only love. It is similar to Bakthi movement in Hinduism. Muscians like AR Rahman, Nasurat Fatheh Ali Khan, Kailash Kher are inspired by it.
