The Sufi and the Gravedigger

A Sufi wandered one day into the cemetery and saw an old gravedigger working there. “Old man,” the Sufi said to him, “may I ask you a question?” The gravedigger looked up from his work. “Of course,” he said. “Ask!” “In the many years you have spent here in the cemetery digging graves, have you ever witnessed a miracle?” The gravedigger laughed. “The only miracle I’ve witnessed is this: every day the dead come here and I bury them, but I still can’t master my own desires. People die every day, but the dog of desire inside me never dies.”
