An ageing Mulla Nasruddin was suffering from insomnia. His relatives and friends tried everything to help him get sound sleep — hot baths, massages and hot milk. His insomnia was becoming a huge nightmare for the family. Then one day, a distant friend of the Mulla suggested the family see a hypnotist

So the hypnotist was brought to the Mulla’s aid. Upon analysing Mulla’s problem he began the therapy, to put Mulla to sleep. He hung a watch with a chain in front of Nasruddin and said, “You don’t worry. Just concentrate on the movement of this watch as it swings to your right and left. Watch it with all your might and concentration”.

I want to share my experience with you, when ever I listen to Abida parveen (pakistani singer) her arifana kalam (spiritual poetry) from poets like bulle shah, sachal sar mast, baba farid, sultan bahoo I feel so enlightened close to God and free from all bounds I believe that spritual music and poetry can help you very much in the path of truth. This poetry can be from East or West it does not matter. What matters is that we should open our hearts with our ears to hear such gift from heaven.
