about

He (the Mulla Nasrudini) had gone to China, where he gathered a circle of disciples, who he was preparing for enlightenment.Those who became illuminated immediately ceased attending his lectures.A party of his undeveloped followers, desiring more illumination, travelled from Persia to China to continue their studies with him. After their first lecture, he received them. ‘Why Mulla,” one of the asked,“do you lecture on secret words which we (unlike the Chinese) can understand?’

They are namidanam and hichmalumnist! They mean in Persian merely “I Don’t know” and “Nobody knows”.

‘What would you have me do instead – lie my head off?’, asked Nasrudin :
from The Sufis, Idries Shah.
