Vol. 5, Pearls from the Ocean Unseen"Blessed are They that Mourn"Part 2There was once a well-known dervish in Gwalior, Mohammed Ghauth, who sat in the jungle, unclothed, and only ate when food was brought to him. He was poverty-stricken in the eyes of the world, but was respected by all. Evil days came on Gwalior. The state was threatened by a powerful enemy, with an army twice the size of that belonging to the ruler who in his distress sought Mohammed Ghauth. |
