According to a Sufi, Moses related tales of how he learnt to
widen his understanding, from narrow assumptions to correct
perspective.
Moses was ill, and he was offered various remedies to treat the
sickness. But he refused, saying that God would help him
instead.
But God, it is related, commanded Moses to use the medicines,
saying: "By refusing to accept the mission of the medicine, you
have called into question the wisdom of Him who endowed the
remedies with their virtue!"
There are some important things to do first, before asking for a
direct personal salvation from God, isnt it? Would you agree? "How
can I ask you to do more, when you havent done what you are
supposed to be doing already?"
