Acharya Prashant narrates the story of Mahjub, a small official who abandons his stable life after being visited by Khidr, the mysterious guide of the Sufis. Following Khidr's seemingly irrational commands, Mahjub jumps into a river, becomes a fisherman's assistant, a farmhand, a skin merchant, and finally a grocer's helper in Samarkand. Through these varied and unrelated experiences, Mahjub eventually attains illumination and deep knowledge of mysteries, yet he cannot explain his transformation through a logical narrative. When biographers attempt to record his life, they find his factual account—a series of random jobs and actions—unsatisfactory for the public's appetite for the miraculous. Consequently, they construct a wonderful and exciting story, as society demands that saints have stories that align with the listeners' expectations rather than the mundane realities of life. Acharya Prashant explains that the 'real' does not happen because of a sequence of logical events; it simply happens through Grace, represented by Khidr. Surrender and faith are defined as following this inner guidance even when it appears foolish or lacks a clear destination. He asserts that the biographies of great masters like Siddhartha Gautama, Jesus, Krishna, and Osho are often filled with 'item numbers' or fabricated miracles to attract people who are not yet mature enough to digest the plain facts. These stories serve as marketing or 'fodder for gossip' to draw the masses toward spirituality. He concludes that for the truly wise, these fantasies must eventually be dropped, as they contain no truth and are merely juvenile representations designed for those who cannot yet face the factual nature of reality.
