A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby. “Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray,” the priest said. “No,”

The priest, minister, and guru exchanged glances, each recognizing the beauty in Ahmad’s explanation. They realized that while their own traditions were different, the essence of their prayers shared a common purpose: to connect with the divine and seek guidance, peace, and strength.

The conversation continued for a while longer, with Ahmad sharing more about his faith and learning about the others’ practices. By the end of their discussion, they all felt a sense of mutual respect and understanding.

As Ahmad returned to his work, the priest, minister, and guru thanked him for sharing his perspective. They realized that there was much to learn from each other’s traditions, and that the different paths they followed all led to the same destination: a closer relationship with the divine.
