我再也不想做摩西了！——阿博都巴哈的故事

02-09

There was a man in Haifa who disliked Abdul-Baha. Whenever he saw the Master, he crossed the street to avoid Him. Finally, one day he approached Abdul- Baha and said, So you are called the Servant of God. Yes, said Abdul-Baha, that is My name.

Well, said the man proudly, I am Moses.

Very well, Moses, said Abdul-Baha, meet Me at this corner at seven oclock in the morning tomorrow and we will go and serve the people like the great Moses did.The man agreed and when they met the next morning, 『Abdu』l-Baha took him on His routine of serving the unfortunates, helping the poor and needy, consulting with people and giving counsel. At six o』clock that evening when they returned to the spot where they had started, he was extremely weary.

『Remember, Moses,』 said 『Abdu』l-Baha before they parted, 『I』ll meet you here tomorrow morning at seven o』clock.』

Again they met the following morning and again 『Abdu』l-Baha took the man through his regular work. Returning at six o』clock that evening the man was very tired. Sternly, 『Abdu』l-Baha told him, 『Remember, Moses, tomorrow morning I』ll meet you here.』

They met the third morning and again 『Abdu』l-Baha took him through His regular work day. When they returned that evening, the man was exhausted. As they parted, the man said, 『『Abdu』l-Baha, tomorrow morning I will no longer be Moses.』

以前，在海法有一個人不喜歡阿博都巴哈，不管什麼時候看到阿博都巴哈，他都想辦法避開。直到有一天，他走到阿博都巴哈身邊，（輕蔑）地對祂說「你就是上帝之仆？」阿博都巴哈回答：「是的，這是我的名字。」「好吧，」這個人傲慢地說：「那我就是摩西。」阿博都巴哈說「很好，很好，摩西，明天早上七點鐘來這個街角，我們一起去像偉大的摩西先知一樣服務大眾吧。」這個人同意了。第二天他們見面了，阿博都巴哈帶他去為窮人和需要幫助的人提供幫助，就像祂一直做的那樣，與這些人懇談，並給他們提供建議。在下午六點的時候，他們回到了原來碰面的地方，這個人顯得疲憊不堪。阿博都巴哈對他說「記住啦，明天我們還是早上7點在這裡碰面。」第二天，他們又見面了，阿博都巴哈帶他又去做祂平時會做的這些事情，到了晚上6點回來，這個人感到很累很累。阿博都巴哈又堅定地告訴他「明天我們還是在這裡見面。」第二天他們還是見面了，想往前一樣度過了一天。到晚上回來的時候，這個人已經精疲力竭。在他們分別的時候，這個人說：「阿博都巴哈，從明天開始我再也不想當摩西了。」
