The Dervish and the sold Tiger

sold There are dozens of stories from many peoples and religions which tell about peculiar figures (heremits, saints, ascetics, mystics) who were bond to wild animals. Even the most ferocious ones never harm them. There is a kind of men and women who are able to communicate with Nature and animals. It must be because their great souls can connect with the deepest vibrations of Creation.
Those are the spiritual life's treasure.
There is a mystic tradition within Islam too. Here is an Indian dervish with his friend, a tiger, fierce towards the others but gentle towards him.
