Once, while visiting his teacher, Daud had a dream that enlightened him greatly.
He dreamed he was bound on a medevial torture rack, dying in horrendous pain, when suddenly he began to laugh uncontrolably. His torturer, compelled to inquire, demanded to know "Why are you laughing?". Daud replied, "Because I have just seen how absolutely free God is within this Creation.... That you, dear torturer, were my own dear mother in another lifetime; and that the Divine now chooses to use our soul-bond in the most opposite way imaginable, in order to teach my soul the true meaning of Freedom.....and Love."
At that, Daud awoke in his habitual body, but into a completely transformed world. Thus did he learn to practice being grateful for all situations, and to be compassionate towards everyone.
