The
Blind Acquired Vision It is narrated that once Aurangzeb Alamgir went
to the glorious Shrine of the King of India Khwaja Gharib Nawaz. Within the boundary
a blind beggar was crying out, Ya Khwaja Gharib Nawaz! Restore my sight. He asked
this beggar, Baba! How long has it been since asking for the vision? He said that
it has been ages but my wish is unfulfilled. He said that I shall return in a
short time after paying a visit to the Holy Shrine, if your eyes gain vision very
well, otherwise I will have you killed. After saying this the King called for
the guards to keep an eye on the beggar, and King went inside to pay his respect.
On the other hand, the beggar started lamenting and kept requesting while weeping,
"Ya Khwaja! First the deal was of eyes only but now it involves life, if
you do not show mercy I will be killed." When the King returned after paying
his respect, His eyes had acquired the vision. The King smiled and said that until
now you were asking without devoting heart and concentration, and now because
of fear of life you asked from your heart, hence your was fulfilled. Khwaja
now look towards the sinner with a vision full of cure. The disease of committing
sins has overpowered this sinful being.
