I Am Your Slave
The sun is rising and its rays are coming through the windows, and he feels it is time to go. He says to Rabia, “I am your slave. Tell me anything, anything in the world that I can do for you.”
She says, “I have only one little request.”
He asks, “What is it?”
Rabia says, “Never tell anybody what you have seen and experienced here. Allow the people to come to me – this beauty is nothing but a trap set for them. I use it as a door for them to enter God. Please, promise me that you will never tell others what you have experienced here tonight. Let them come to a whore and a brothel, because otherwise they will never come to me.”
“Oh!” he says, “So this is the secret of this city. The whole city clamours after your beauty, yet nobody tells me about his experience.”
Rabia laughs and says, “Yes, I extract the promise, this promise, from all of them.”
Whatsoever other person’s intentions, it is upto us what we want to give. Rabia has not fulfilling rich man’s expectations. But she was overflowing with gratitude in utter silence, and rich man received something – he became slave.
Whenever you meet anyone, drop your opinion to receive something from him. Rich man could drop his all opinion and expectations. If we drop our judgments, opinions and expectations we will be able to receive grace of God, wherever we are.
