A derwish was walking alongside the river. Enjoying the good weatherand listening to the birds singing. While looking around and enjoyinghis view he heard someone calling: 'Ooyahoo!' He listenedcarefully and noticed that the call was a mantra of another derwish.But there is something, he thought. The mantra is pronounced wrongly bythe other derwish. It should be 'Yahoo!' And he, as a faithfullderwish, had the duty to help the other derwish to better. So he listened to where the mantra-calling came from and found out that itwas from the island in the river. He rented a boat and rowed to theisland. On the island he followed his ears and found the other derwishsitting while calling his mantra. 'Excuse me my brother,' hesaid, 'I just hear you call the mantra and noticed that yourpronunciation is wrong. It should be 'Yahoo!' and not 'Ooyahoo!'' 'Thank you my brother,' the other derwish said, 'I will keep this in mind.' Relieved as the derwish was, he went back to his rented boat. He did a good job for the day. Don't they say that if you pronounce the mantra in the wayit should be, that you even could walk over water? While hewas not at the other side yet, he heard again: 'Ooyahoo!' And startedto meditate on people's stubbornness... And wanted to change directionagain. He didn't turn around yet and saw... He saw someonecomming from the island walking over the water into his direction. Assoon as he came closer the derwish saw that it was the other derwish. He said: 'Sorry my brother, can you give me the right pronunciation again? I just can't remember it.' | |
