Absence of Knowledge and Understanding is an astonishing thing

A child was brought to Hadhrat for “Dum”, i.e. reciting and blowing on the child, but the child started to scream and cry. Hadhrat said: Absence of knowledge and understanding is an astonishing thing. It makes a beneficial thing seem harmful. This child has been brought for its benefit but has become uneasy. It is the same with Allah and us. His attitude towards us is one of mercy but we become uneasy and scream. We should take a lesson from this.
