One day Hassan, a Sufi mystic, went to Rabiya, the great Sufi woman.
He had just learned how to walk on water, so he told Rabiya, “Let us go and walk on water and have a little spiritual discourse, discussion.”
That spiritual discussion was just an excuse; he wanted to show Rabiya that he could walk on the water.
Rabiya said, “On the water? That does not appeal to me. Let us go to the clouds! We will sit on the clouds and have spiritual discourse.”
Hassan said, “But I don’t know how to go to the clouds and sit on the clouds.”
Rabiya said, “Neither do I! But what is the point? Why can’t we have a religious discourse here? Why go to the water or to the clouds?”
