Need Help with a story

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Heres a beautiful story that Mawlana Ar-Rumi tells :
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Once a man was making duaa and he was doing ill-hah, like begging Allah. A
cynic passed by and he said to him, “how long have you been asking?”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The man replied, “for many many years.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“have you recieved an answer yet?”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The man replied, “no.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Then why are you still asking?”
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Then Rumi said, the man fell into a confused sleep-because the cynic had put
shak (doubt) in his heart. Then the man said in his sleep he had seen
Al-Khidr, and Al-Khidr said, “why did you leave your supplication?”
he said, “because i realized i had been doing it all these years and i never
got the answer.” and Al-Khidr said, “dont you realize? the supplication was the answer.”[/FONT]
I've been reading it over and over again and its going right past my head. :uuh:
any ideas?
