The Sufi Bayazid says this about himself
“I was a revolutionary when I was young and a/I my prayer to God was: ‘Lord give me the energy to change the world.’”
“As I approached middle age and realized that half my life was gone without my
changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to: ‘Lord, give me the grace to change all
those who come in contact with me. Just my family and friends, and I s...hall be content,’”
‘Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is, ‘Lord, give
me the grace to change myself.’ If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wasted my life.”
