A Sufi tale:
A dead man suddenly came to life and began to pound on the lid of the coffin.
The lid was raised; the man sat up. "What are you doing?" he said to the assembled crowd.
"I am not dead."
His words were met with silent disbelief. Finally one of the mourners said, "Friend, both the doctors and the priests have certified that you are dead. So dead you are."
And he was duly buried.
