Audio Tales: The Bowl of the Dervish

Here is a tale as it was told by Hazrat Inayat Khan.  It concerns an encounter between the Emperor Sikander and a dervish; the west knows Sikander as Alexander the Great, the military leader who overthrew the Persian empire and marched all the way to India.  He may well have met such a dervish in his campaigns, but history doesn’t show that he learned the lesson given in this story.

    Beautiful tale, it reminds this shocking saying: “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need but not enough for any man’s greed” Mahatma Gandhi
