Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 There is a beautiful Sufi story in which one of the Sufis cried out in public , "I am God!" and he was stoned to death by the pious crowd. That night , one of the persons who had stoned him had a dream. In that drean he saw God welcoming the dead Sufi with open arms. So the stone-thrower asks God , "You sent the Pharaoh into hell because he said , 'I am God.' The Sufi said the same thing but you are welcoming him to heaven." God replied , "When the Pharaoh said ,"I am God" , he was thinking of himself. When this Sufi said 'I am God' he was thinking of Me. taken from Consciousness Speaks , Ramesh Balsekar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
