This short teaching reminds us that the ego gives us countless commands every day, hundreds of subtle orders that shape our thoughts and actions. The practice it suggests is simple but profound: follow ninety‑nine of them and consciously refuse one. By deliberately withholding obedience to a single command, we begin to loosen the ego’s hold and gain a small but real victory. This intentional refusal is presented as the essence of Sufi training: drawing benefit from the ego instead of being overwhelmed by it.
