Kisah Sufi

Jami was a poet and Sufi teacher who lived in fifteenthcentury Khorasan; he was born in the city of Jam (in what is now Ghor province in Afghanistan), hence his name: Jami, the man from Jam. A young man came to Jami, hoping to become his disciple. Jami had only one question that he asked this prospective pupil: “Have you ever loved anyone with all your heart and all your soul?” “No,” said the would-be disciple. “Then you must go and love someone,” said Jami, “and then you will be ready.” In every heart, there is a spark of fire.
