There is a story of a prophet who was very ill, and who suffered many years. But through his suffering his insight became more clear. His suffering was so great that those around him became tired of it, and so he had to seek the refuge of God in the forest, to relieve them of his pain. As his sight was keen and the ears of his heart were open, he heard from trees: "I am the medicine of your disease". The prophet asked: "Has the time of my cure come?" There came a voice: "No". Then he said: "Why shall I take you then?" Another time he had another experience. He heard: "I am the medicine of your disease". He asked: "Has the time of my cure come?" The answer came: "Yes". The prophet said: "Why shall I take you?" For he could still not resign.
