The Story of Our wOrld & the Greengrocer & the Parrot:













The story of the greengrocer and the parrot with all its oppositions and comparisons,
IS ( the wor[L]d of Reality ) just like our wOrld with all its oppositions. I mean we can see the wOrld's oppositions in these Molana's words. But what are the comparison`s usages? In my opinion, sometimes COMPARISON can be useful. But when?
When two things that we are comparing, are from one type. For example Molana says that:
" Both reeds drank from the same water-source, (but) this one is empty and that one (full of) sugar." Then this kind of comparison will have positive results.
Comparison is an natural blessing and is born with every person.
When a baby is born, he is compared with his parents for his likeness to them. when he is growing up, he compares himself with others. When he doesn’t pay attention to his parent's advices, they compare him with his friends, his cousin and so on. This kind of comparison will have negative results.

Even if you don’t compare sb/sth, people surely will compare you!!!!!
Molana says that we should avoid of childish comparisons: " Don’t measure the action of holy man by(the analogy of) yourself, though shér(lion) and shir(milk) are similar in writing."

As a result we shouldn't deceive ourselves with using incorrect Comparisons for being closed to the God.
