| Introduction | However often others have called harsh words down upon me, I give thanks to God that they do not know the worst of it. Allow me a rose from the Garden of Sa'di: "In a company where everyone was praising a religious man and extolling his virtues, he raised up his head, and said, 'I am such as I know myself to be. You who reckon up my good works, judge from the external, but are ignorant of the interior. My external form, in the eyes of mankind, is handsome, but from the baseness of the interior I bow down my head with shame.'" |
