The Book of Pleasure and Compassion

Description

Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi said: “I say a warning to myself and to those of my kind: Whoever does not obey his advisor by accepting what he hears from him, does not own all of his friend in what he represents, does not listen to his statement in what he sends him and informs him of, and does not see that the mind of the wise scholar is superior to that of the dull learner, and that the opinion of the tried and true is superior to that of the foolish, has lost his fortune in the immediate, and perhaps he will also lose his fortune in the future, for the interests of this world are bound up with the guides of the Hereafter, and the faculty of sense in this world is opposed to the faculty of mind in that world.”.
