The Parable Of The Sun
And
Two Blind Men
Only those who believe what is true are called faithful.
Others are deceived by their own blind faith,
because the believe what is false.

The Parable
Two blind men were in a gathering when a mystic was teaching about truth. The mystic said that truth is like the sun, which sustains our life and gives us the light to see.
At the end of his explanations, the wise blind man said, “God bless you for your teachings. When I was a boy, I used to see the sun in the sky.”
But the foolish blind man said, “I do not believe your teachings because I do not see any sun.”
And the mystic answered him saying, “Truth is what it is, whether you believe it or not. Again, it is not enough to believe, for it is a disgrace to be an ignorant believer. You should believe only what is true. Already, many people believe and practise so many false things, thinking that they please God by so doing. And you are one of those on the wrong path.”
