One day, Rumi had left the “madrasa” and he was proceeding on his mule, conversing with his students, who surrounded him. Suddenly, a stranger caught hold of the reins of his mule and challenged the master with a question. It was Shams Al-Tabriz."Oh, the great Imam of Islam! Tell me who is greater, Prophet Muhammad or Bayazid of Bastam (a sufi scholar of that age)?"Rumi reacted, "What kind of question is this? How can you ask such a thing? Of course, Muhammad is greater than Bayazid”. Shams continued, “But Muhammad said 'Oh my Lord, I fail to understand You the way you really deserve', but Bayazid said 'How great is my being, and I am the king of kings. I am free of all defects and there is nothing left in my robe other than God'. So, who is mistaken here?”Rumi said, “Well, the thirst of Bayazid was filled with one drop, and his jar of wisdom was filled with that; and the light he received was just in accordance with the capacity of his window of divine light while Muhammad's thirst was huge and at every stage he wanted more and more love and knowledge of God. Bayazid’s thirst was little enough to be satisfied with the drop of water he attained, but for Noble Prophet, the more he drinks it, the more he gets thirsty.”In my lifetime, I just wanted not to put an end my thirst. And I always refused to be an "operator" rather than a "hacker", who is not curious about what is happening in life and operate a routine work unconsciously. As Horace said and Kant cited, “Sapere aude”, means “Dare to know!”, became my password through the locked doors of our society. I study law, do legal service, develop softwares, perform music, love science, apart from all of them, always try hard to learn something new.I might never build a career like my colleagues with high GPAs. That’s OK, I have just managed to create a unique Linkedin summary that is not talking about curriculums and certificates. Cheers!
