Past the seeker as he prayed, came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, the holy one went down into a deep prayer and cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” And out of the long silence, God said, “I did do something. I made you.” – Sufi teaching story

Good teaching story.
Isn't that the truth? So often we are blind to the good we could be doing.
Dr. John, who knows how to do a good turn, sent me.
Thanks to Dr. John for the tip to your blog. I like the name - if everyone does their bit, peace WILL ripple out and touch others.
Wise advice and thank you for sharing.
Hey, who is that Dr. John fellow that everyone is commenting about?
Also sent by doctor john over at fortresslina.blogspot.com! Glad I followed the link - a reminder of how the great faiths of the world have something to say to each other. thank you.
Great story! It's really a shame that we need to be taught and reminded so often that helping others less fortunate should be part of our life purpose, but we do. Thanks.
I've never thought about it that way, but it's a good point well made!
Very Good Story
