SELF TRANSFORMATION
SO COMPLETE WAS THE BAYAZID'S ABSORPTION IN GOD THAT, EVERY DAY WHEN HE WAS CALLED BY A DISCIPLE WHO HAD BEEN HIS INSEPARABLE COMPANION FOR TWENTY YEARS, HE WOULD SAY - MY SON ! WHAT IS YOUR NAME ? MASTER THE DISCIPLE SAID ONE DAY - YOU ARE MOCKING ME. FOR TWENTY YEARS I HAVE BEEN SERVING YOU, AND EVERY DAY YOU ASK ME MY NAME. MY SON ..REPLIED BAYAZID . I DO NOT DERIDE YOU. BUT HIS NAME HAS ENTERED MY HEART AND HAS EXPELLED ALL OTHER NAMES. AS SOON AS I LEARN A NEW NAME. I PROMPTLY FORGET IT.
