Analysis of Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Admonition 21
Sa di 1210 (Shiraz) – 1291 (Shiraz)
Whatever thou perceivest will become known to thee in due course of time. Make no haste in asking for it, else the awe of thy dignity will be lessened.
When Loqman saw that in the hands of David
All iron became by miracle soft like wax,
He asked not: ‘What art thou doing?’ Because
He knew he would learn it without asking.
