A Vital Difference

"Uwais, the Sufi, was once asked:
“What has Grace brought you?” 

He replied: 

“When I wake in the morning I feel like a man who is not sure he will live till evening.” 

Said the questioner: 

“But doesn’t everyone know this?” 

Said Uwais: “They certainly do. But not all of them feel it.” 

No one ever became drunk on the word wine."
