Humanity is to take care of others

Once a sufi saint was walking with his disciples towards a jungle. They saw some tribal people were coming behind to kill them. The sufi saint told his disciples not to panic, calm down, let us hide inside the cave which was nearby. Then he saw a big spider's web at the entrance of the cave. He requested his discipline to enter the cave by not disturbing the spider's web. He said "we should not break or spoil somebody's house to save our lives. Take care of his home, he will take care of us. Enter the cave slowly and carefully. Let spider's web which is made with great effort remain intact, do not spoil it"

The saint and his disciples entered carefully and hid inside the cave. The junglee tribals looked here and there but could not trace them. Then one of then said "Look there is a cave there, they must be hiding inside it." The other colleagues did not agree. They said "How can they enter the cave? look at the spider's web it is intact, without breaking the web it is not possible to enter the cave.

They then went back. After sometime the saint and his disciples peacefully and carefully came out of the web. Their life was saved. The disciples learnt a lesson that we should find our way without disturbing others. They took care spider's web, in return spider saved their lives.
