He [Shibli] used to illustrate the difference between the Sufis and the unregenerate by saying things incomprehensible to the populace at large. One day because of his cryptic talk he was mocked as a madman in public by detractors. He said:
To your mind, I am mad.
To my mind, you are all sane.
So I pray to increase my madness
and to increase your sanity.
My madness is from the power of Love
Your sanity is fromte strength of unawareness...
To your mind, I am mad.
To my mind, you are all sane.
So I pray to increase my madness
and to increase your sanity.
My madness is from the power of Love
Your sanity is fromte strength of unawareness...
