I met a fiddler (Hassidic tradition)
Paulo Coelho
A disciple approached Rabbi Moshé Haim: “Today I met a man who laughed and scorned my striving for spiritual grace.”
“Today I met a fiddler,” answered the Rabbi. “He played with such divine inspiration that all who drew near began to sing and dance. I followed suit and was praising Creation with my joy when I saw a deaf man approach us. He stood there watching the fiddler and everyone dancing away. Finally he said in a loud voice: “What an indecent and grotesque display by a bunch of madmen!”
And Moshé Haim concluded: “Those who don’t know how to listen to God’s music can only conclude that it is useless.”
