To conclude, I will tell you a little story of a madzhub (A madzhub is a person who shows himself a simpleton in order to keep the crowd away and who is one with the whole universe. His is a cosmic consciousness.) One day this madzhub was moving in the city in the middle of the night, when no one is allowed to move about. A policeman asked, "Who are you?" He smiled and enjoyed the question. He did not know what he was, because that "I" was not strongly attached to his own body. Nafs was not there. So he did not answer. The policeman asked, "Are you a thief?" "Yes," he said, because the ego was empty and any name that was given was accepted there. A so-called [false] saint would be very offended to think that he was a thief.
