Summary

The story is set in India, where a wealthy merchant learns the importance of compassion and selflessness through a chance encounter at a coffee house. The merchant, who is proud of his wealth and status, is humbled by a poor and contented dervish who teaches him the true meaning of happiness and fulfilment. The story highlights the theme of the pursuit of material wealth and the emptiness it can bring, versus the satisfaction and joy that come from serving others. Read in English, unabridged.
