Feeling & Thinking
By Rumi...
Some one struck Zayd a hard blow from behind. He was about to retaliate.
When his assailant cried, "Let me ask you a question: first answer it, then strike me.
I struck the nape of your neck, and there was the sound of a slap. Now I ask you in a friendly way- "Was the sound caused by my hand or by your neck, O pride of the noble?"
Zayd said, "The pain I am suffering leaves me no time to reflect on this problem.
Ponder it yourself: he who feels the pain cannot think of things like this."
