“So think as if your every thought were to be etched in fire upon the sky for all and everything to see.
For so, in truth, it is.

So speak as if the world entire were but a single ear intent upon hearing what you say.
For so, in truth, it is.

So do as if your every deed were to recoil upon your head.
For so, in truth, it is.

So wish as if you were the wish.
And so, in truth, you are.”


– Mikhail Nimay, Book of Mirdad
