remembering title of story/prable-

A holy man has a reputation for helping others, but one day finds himself in need of spiritual guidance. He remembers there's a priest who is famous for helping people through their troubles, so he goes off in search of the priest.

He finds the priest (meets him as a companion while travelling?) who reveals the priest was also looking for the holy man for the exact same issue.

I want to say it's a short story, but it could've also been part of a larger work. Something by Tolstoy? Hesse?
