A Tale Serving as a Guide to Patience for Those Confronting Loneliness

Yunus Emre, every day would wake up early in the Tapduk Emre lodge and begin to bask in the rays of the morning sun. One day, one of the dervishes chose to ignore the donated belongings. Yunus immediately approached him and tried to explain the beauty of patience and gratitude. That dervish was inexperienced enough to be caught up in temporary things. Yunus decided to tell him a story: Once upon a time, a man lost his most precious jewels. He was very sad and sought help from people. However, as time passed, he realized that it was not the lost belongings but the peace and patience within him that were the most valuable. This lesson had a profound impact on the dervish.
