O slave! Make the way your bag, contentment your vessel, and let the thought process and reflection be the stirring stick. Wear the two earings of patience and mercy. Let the 'geenaans' be your food.
O slave! The sage in this world is the one, whose heart is free from matters other(than faith and religion). That sage is a master in the world.
