Non-judgemental, The Attitude Of The Great!

Sufi Story, Non Judgemental Attitude
Judgement is the projection of one's mind. One remains in his own self when he does not judge. A small Sufi story carries the essence of a non judging attitude.

There was a Sufi mystic in a village who was non judgemental. He sold small things in the village. The villagers aware of his innocent attitude, started taking advantage of him. He was either given false coins or not paid for his things. The Sufi mystic accepted whatever was offered to him without a word.

One day while death had neared the old mystic, he prayed to God thus, “Allah I have accepted all kinds of coins, even false ones. I am also a false coin. Please do not judge me. I did not judge your men. So please don't judge me!

The attitude of such a person is of total surrender and person who has surrendered to God totally is never forsaken.
