When the master gets the knowledge

Sufi belief that the problem of a person is not solved until a master of the grace of his master falls on it.

Once a Sufi Saint was on deathbed. He was concerned about the future of his dear three new disciples, how he would get the right master to lead them to knowledge. He could take the name of a capable scholar, if he wanted saint, but he did not do it and wanted that the disciple would find himself a guru for himself.

For this, the saint searched for a strange idea in his mind. He called his three disciples and said - Divide the three of the 17 camels in our ashram together and divide it in such a way - the biggest will be half of them, the median is one-third and the smallest is the ninth part.

It was a big bizarre distribution, which could not have got any solution. The three disciples spent many minds but did not get the answer, then one of them said - The intention of the master will not be different, that is why all of us together keep their owners, there will be no division.

The second said - The guru would have asked for the nearest possible split.

But the matter has not come from anyone's throats. When the issue of their problem spread, a scholar called the three disciples and said - You take one of my camels. This will make you complete eighteen camels. Now take the largest of these, that is, half of them, that is, nine camels. One third of the median i.e. take six camels Take the smallest ninth part i.e. take two camels. Now the remaining one camel is saved, which is mine, then I take it back. The disciples had found their new guru In the problem of the Guru's disciples, which was also included in the self.
