In Book 6, Section 25 of the Masnavi, Rumi presents the parable of a greedy man who is blind to God's infinite providence and mercy. He compares this man to a tiny ant struggling and trembling to drag a single grain of wheat across a vast threshing floor, completely unaware of the boundless abundance surrounding it. This allegory highlights the spiritual blindness caused by greed and the failure to recognize the divine Sustainer (Razzaq). It emphasizes that human anxiety over material sustenance stems from a narrow, worldly perspective rather than profound trust in divine generosity.
