Perspective - Rumi tells us a story about ant

[Zak]

(Would have been nicer if Leo cited this story in his new video.)

There is a story which Sayyidina Jalaluddin Mohammad Rumi tells of an ant that’s creeping across the carpet in a mosque, and the ant complains to God saying: “what is this, these bumps, and strange colours, and patterns, this must have been created just as a meaningless obstacle course, what a futile thing to have made.” But of course the carpet maker, looking at it from above can see the patterns and the purpose of it, and can see that the whole thing is perfect and is good.
