Sa di

Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 15

A padshah, meeting a holy man, asked him whether he did not sometimes remember him for the purpose of getting presents. He replied: ‘Yes, I do, whenever I forget God. ’ Whom He drives from his door, runs everywhere. Whom He calls, runs to no one’s door. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
