There lived a "fool" in a village. He was so troubled that whether he said anything or not, or whether he did anything or not, people laughed at him. His life had shrunk.
One night, he grabbed the feet of a fakir who had come to the village and cried, "Maharaj! Am I going to die like this? Isn't there a way to gain some wisdom?"
The fakir smiled and said, "There's a solution! Take this formula: Start criticizing."
The fool was shocked! "What will criticism achieve?"
The fakir explained: "For seven days, respond negatively to everything. If someone says, 'What a beautiful sun has risen!', you say, 'What's so beautiful about it? It rises every day, it's a ball of fire! Prove where the beauty is?' If someone praises the words of Jesus, you say, 'What's new in it? Everything is stale, everything is borrowed!'" Asking 'no' and 'what's so special about everything.' Always remain in the negative and put others in the affirmative."
Seven days later...
When that same 'great fool' returned, he wasn't alone. A group of disciples followed him, garlands around his neck, and bands were playing! The village fell silent; wherever he passed, people bowed their heads. Word had spread that he was a 'great genius'; no one could defeat him!
He asked the fakir, "The trick worked! What next?"
The fakir said, "Don't do anything else now, just stick to this. If you want to save your intelligence, never fall into the predicate. Always make a negative statement. No one will be able to defeat you!"
The fakir explained:It's very difficult to disprove a negative statement.
While it's very difficult to prove a positive statement wrong.
Accepting God requires great intelligence, subtle sensitivity, and consciousness.
But denying God requires nothing.
This is why the world often mistakes "condemnation" for "knowledge."
This story makes us think—do we also unknowingly mistake negativity for wisdom?
