Thank you Steve 🙏🏼 The stories of Mullah Nasruddin has great ability to be funny, yet a deep meaning within. Like when he was looking for his key outside, in a way we can interpret this humorous story this way too: because our inner world is so dark and cloudy by the accumulation of nonsense thoughts, desires, emotions and noises coming from different corner of our brain which disable us not to hear, to see, to sense clearly. For this reason in everyday life, since we cannot find the solution for our problem and sorrows inside then we look for the answer outside by consuming, by obtaining power... at the end we find our self in complete void. Thank to Steve by opening the door to find ourselves within ourselves! 🙏🏼

There’s an other story of Mullah: Mullah said, I don’t like day time because I can’t see stars 🌟 ⭐️ ✨ that’s so true, for we can only become sharp of our inner sight in our dark time of our life .
