To be or not to be?!


A dervish fell into the river Tigris.Seeing that he could not swim,
a man on the bank cried out to him:
"Shall I tell someone to bring you ashore?"
The dervish said:"No."
"Then do you wish to be drowned?"
"No."
"What then do you wish?"
The dervish replied:
"That which God wishes.
What have I to do with wishing?"

(an anecdote from Kashf ul Mahjub)
