There is a story of Timurlenk, the great Mogul emperor, a man whom destiny had intended to be great. Yet he was not awakened to that greatness. One day, tired of the strife of daily life and overwhelmed by his worldly duties, he was lying on the ground in a forest waiting for death to come and take him. A dervish passed by and saw him asleep and recognized in him the man that destiny had intended to become a great personality. The dervish struck him with his stick and Tirnurlenk woke up and asked, "Why have you come to trouble me here? I have left the world and have come to the forest. Why do you come to trouble me?" The dervish said, "What gain is there in the forest? You have the whole world before you; it is there that you will find what you have to accomplish, if only you realize the power that is within you." He said, "No, I am too disappointed, too pessimistic for any good to come to me. The world has wounded mc; I am sore, my heart is broken. I will no longer stay in this world." The dervish said, "What is the use of having come to this earth if you have not accomplished something, if you have not experienced something? If you are not happy, you do not know how to live!" Timurlenk said to the dervish, "Do you think that I shall ever accomplish anything?" The dervish answered, "That is why I have come to awaken you. Wake up and pursue your duty with courage. You will be successful; there is no doubt about it." This impression awakened in Timurlenk the spirit with which he had come into the world. And with every step that he took forward, he saw that conditions changed and all the influences and forces that he needed for success came to him as if life, which before had closed its doors, now opened all to him. And he reached the stage where he became the famous Timurlenk of history.
