My heart grows weary in my breast, and bids me farewell, and walks toward a happy home.When he came to the sanctuary where the soul revered, he stood there, feeling bewildered, because what he saw there was not what he had imagined for a long time.He didn't see power, money, or power. He only saw a pair of young people, Beauty and Love, and their daughter—wisdom, as their companion. My heart said to love, "Love! Where is the contentment? I heard that she shares the peace here with you." She replied, "We don't need contentment. Therefore, she has left us and disappeared everywhere. is the city of ambition. Satisfaction is not the ideal pursued by happiness, happiness is a continuous longing, contentment is a consolation, accompanied by forgetting. The immortal mind cannot be satisfied, because perfection is its ideal, and Perfection is infinite."

My heart said to Beauty: "Beauty, enlighten me, and show me the secrets of women, for you know them best." Then he said, "Heart: she is you, and she is what you are; She is me, and where I am, she is. She is like religion—if it is not perverted by fools; she is like the full moon—if it is not covered by clouds; Contains a rancid smell. " My heart went to Wisdom, the daughter of Love and Beauty, and said: "Give me Wisdom: let me lead her to men." She said, "Know that she is happiness: from the most sacred depths of the heart, Not from outside."
