There is a story about a prophet who was very ill. He suffered many years, and through his suffering his insight became dearer. His suffering was so great that those around him became tired of it and so, in order to relieve them from seeing his pain, he had to seek refuge with God in the forest. As his sight was keen and the ears of his heart were open, he heard from the trees, "I am the medicine of your disease." The prophet asked, "Has the time of my cure come?" A voice came answering, "No." So he said, "Why shall I take you then?" Another time he had this experience again; he heard, "I am the medicine of your disease", and asked, "Has the time of my cure come?" The answer came, "Yes." The prophet said, "Why shall I take you then?"
