Could someone who understands the Sufi meaning behind this story help me please? I've been listening to it for years, but I can't help but think that "telling the story of Mushkil Gusha every Thursday" is more of a metaphor for something else. When I try to directly tell this story to people, I'm just met with resistance, scepticism, and often ridicule. At the end, he says "These are some of the incidents in the story of Mushkil Gusha... It has many forms, some of them are even not called the story of Mushkil Gusha at all" - so what is at the core? What makes them all part of the story of Mushkil Gusha and how do we share this? Does it instead represent generosity? I'm stuck trying to figure it out and need some pointers.

1. The intro to the story is there for that…
2. Our brain pattern matches, stories are primers…
3. “Someone said to Bahaudin Naqshband:
'You relate stories, but you do not tell us
how to understand them.'
He said:
How would you like it if the man from
whom you bought fruit consumed it before
your eyes, leaving you only the skin?'
(Thinkers of the East)
