A bowl of soup was presented to a pious person.
He added water to it before sipping - to kill the taste so that his tongue does not get spoiled by it.
A Shaykh heard this story. He said that this person is an 'aabid (the man of worship, devotee) but he is not an 'aarif (gnostic - who recognized Allah (SWT)). Had he been one he would have taken the soup as such and would later have thanked Allah (SWT) for such a nice blessing.
