A Persian mystic once said, " I have chosen four things to know, and have discarded all other knowledge in this world."
He was asked, " What are they ? "
This was his answer :
" Firstly, I know that my daily bread is apportioned to me and will neither be increased nor diminished. Consequently, I have ceased to augment it.
Secondly, I know that I owe to God a debt which no other person can pay on my behalf. Therefore, I am occupied with paying it.
Thirdly, I know that there is One pursuing me (death) from whom I cannot escape. Accordingly, I am preparing myself to meet him.
Fourthly, I know that God is observing me ; therefore I am ashamed to do what I should Not do in His Presence. "
