“Another great Sufi Master, Bayazid Bistami, deliberately picked up and ate a piece of food, breaking his fast, during Ramadan (the month of fasting), in order to scandalize his students, and cause the unworthy to leave him alone. Very many well-read students of Sufism are highly familiar with stories such as this, but when they come across a Master who acts in unexpected and surprising ways, they run away. This is precisely the opposite of what all their reading taught them is the correct course of action in such situations.” UnexpectedMasterAteScandalizeBayazid BistamiBreaking Fast Book:The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis Source: The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
