On the Effects of Education

 Story 18

 

I noticed the son of a rich man, sitting on the grave of his father and quarreling with a dervish boy,
saying: ‘The sarcophagus of my father’s tomb is of stone and its epitaph is elegant. The pavement is of
marble, tesselated with turquois-like bricks. But what resembles thy father’s grave? It consists of two
contiguous bricks with two handfuls of mud thrown over it.’ The dervish-boy listened to all this and
then observed: ‘By the time thy father is able to shake off those heavy stones which cover him, mine
will have reached paradise.’

An ass with a light burden
No doubt walks easily.

A dervish who carries only the load of poverty
Will also arrive lightly burdened at the gate of death
Whilst he who lived in happiness, wealth and ease
Will undoubtedly on all these accounts die hard.
At all events, a prisoner who escapes from all his bonds
Is to be considered more happy than an amir taken prisoner.
