Knock knock�
"Who is there?"
"May I come in?"
"Yes you may� What is it you seek?"
"I hear you are the one who performs miracles?"
"Yes it is I. What is it you would like?"
"I want to see in the dark"
"I see. Well sit down my child. Give me your hands and close your eyes tight... Now...tell me what you see."
"I don�t see anything."
"How do you feel?"
"I feel lost."
"Are you afraid?"
"Yes I am"
"Fear... do you know what fear is?"
"Yes. It is what I'm feeling now."
"Yes it is. You are scared. That�s because you are feeling weak."
"Being scared doesn�t make me weak."
"Being afraid is a feeling of weakness. This weakness comes when you don�t know what is happening or when you have no control on what goes on around you. That is fear. It is born due to what you lack. Do you know what you lack?"
"No. I don�t lack anything. My life is exactly what I want it to be."
"My son� you lack control, that explains why you are afraid. It is in your nature to be afraid. You are human. You are never in control.
Now calm down. Keep you eyes closed. And find the light"
"What light?"
"The light you see."
"Are you mad old man? When you close your eyes, you see no light. All I see is dark. All black"
"Darkness? I see. But why do you think you see darkness?"
"Because the light coming from your candle doesn�t reach my eye."
"So you need light to see?"
"Yes. Light makes all creatures see."
"Who told you that?"
"No one. It's common sense. No one sees in the dark."
"True. No one can see in the dark� do you remember what I look like?"
"No. Your hood hid your face."
"I see. Now tell me. Am I youthful or aged?"
"You are an old man."
"How could you know such a fact without seeing me?"
"It shows from your voice."
"So you studied from my voice?"
"Yes"
"Then put your hand on my face� now, tell me what I look like."
"You are an old man with a long beard. You have plenty of wrinkles."
"Yes I am. But your eyes are closed. How did you know this?"
"Because I touched you."
"So by touching you understood?"
"Yes. You can say that."
"So you were able to see me"
"Yes, in my mind�"
"Be gone my son for you have found what you seek."
