Kisah Sufi

There was a would-be disciple who came to study with Nasruddin. “I’m extremely intelligent,” he said to Nasruddin, “and a quick learner! I’m sure I will be one of your best pupils. How long do you think it will take me to become an accomplished Sufi master?” “Ten years,” said Nasruddin. The would-be disciple looked dejected. “What if I study twice as hard?” “Twenty years,” said Nasruddin. “That’s impossible!” exclaimed the disciple. “Didn’t you hear me? I told you I would be one of your best pupils. I really am a quick learner!” “That’s exactly the problem,” said Nasruddin, smiling.
