00:00So, this one goes to this Sufi master and now he is totally bloated and about to die.
00:06He had grown sick because he used to eat all kinds of nonsense.
00:12Samosa, kachori, whatever. You mention any other fruit to him.
00:18And he will say, no, no, I do not know what fruit are you talking of.
00:22There is only one fruit, the king of all fruits.
00:26And I take that one.
00:28So, the Sufi says, there is a magical cure for you.
00:32It's an edible thing.
00:34And it is round.
00:36And it has many small fruits inside one fruit.
00:43There are hundreds of seeds in one fruit.
00:47It looks red.
00:49And within it is totally red.
00:52Now the man says, are you talking of a pomegranate?
00:56The teacher says, yes, yes, yes.
00:58And then the master said, well, I have a few of them with me.
01:04You want?
01:05And he says, yes, yes, yes.
01:08And he initiated himself with the fruit right there.
01:13So, one curious disciple now comes to the teacher and says, why didn't you straight away tell him that he needed some pomegranate?
01:21You know what the Sufi said?
01:27He needed the pomegranate.
01:30But he also needed some tact.
01:33I gave him both.
01:35If you are not tactful, you will not succeed.
01:40Though all dealings must always be in the service of truth.
01:45All tact must be in the service of truth.
01:50But without tact, even serving the truth will become impossible.
