A Story of God And Man

One day I happen to visit one of the sufi center in San Francisco, After a session of meditation, a guest who was with us that afternoon, and was waiting to meet the sheikh, finally got to meet him and ask a few question. Among others, the basic question regarding the history the method of initiation and so forth. After a while , the guy started blabering about of "how much he loves god and why after this so many years he has been searching for God, trying all possible means. Mediation, asking and praying.

To most of us , his quest seem genuine, most of us there went thru the same process before, the yearning to meet God and to ask all kind of question.

But that afternoon was the greates afternoon among other, because, suddenly, the sheikh ask "why do you want to meet God" The question seem trivial, The man mention" because i love God"
It seem this man has an emotion toward God, and wanted to meet Him.

The sheikh reply" which God"?. The man answered "there is only one God"

At this moment " i started to laugh deep inside my heart, not wanting to show" the question of "which God suddenly gave me the answer". And till now it is still fresh in my mind and to this day i thank God for granting me the grace to be there during the question.

Let go back to the story. The sheikh ask again " which God?" the same answered but with a lengthy explanation. At this point started seeing more smile across the room, it seem the emotion and feeling has began to unfold across the sufi presence there.

Finally after the man has ended his explanation, the sheikh reply "You are in Love with the God in Your Head! Not the real God"

So it seem he is a disciple of his own imaginary mind God- the veil is about to be broken
Some of us may take Gods word literally, but the truth of the matter is that, most of his word may or may not be understood literally, it may be hidden behind a veil, full of meaning and interpretation. This must be understood by al who claim to love god in it essense.
This world that we live in has been set according to certain law, which some he may not interfere
