The Sufi saint, Shams-e Tabrizi tells the following story about himself:
I have been considered a misfit since my childhood days. No one seemed to understand me. My own father once said to me, “You are not crazy enough to put in a madhouse, and not withdrawn enough to be put in a monastery. What shall I do with you?”
I replied, “A duck’s egg was put under a hen. When the egg hatched, the duckling walked with the hen to the edge of a pool and went straight into the water. The poor hen stayed anxiously clucking on land. Now, dear father, I have walked into the Ocean and find in it my home. Am I to blame if you choose to stay on shore?”
