Bustan
How can one maintain compassion and wisdom even amidst life's harsh trials?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Wandering through this orchard, the Bustan, called the very essence of Persian literature, I was consoled by the tender and profound ethical insight of this medieval poet. Sa'di weaves the universal values of justice, mercy, love, and humility into beautiful parables and lyrical verse. His voice, whispering that to never lose compassion for others amid a harsh life is the greatest virtue of all, resounds across the ages. If you are seeking a spring of wisdom to moisten a parched soul, then by all means you must open this book.
"Do not wound the heart of the dervish, for a single sigh may shake a world."Saadi Shirazi, Bustan
"가난한 자의 마음에 상처를 주지 마라. 눈물 한 방울이 폭풍을 일으킬 수도 있으니."

When you see someone's mistake or shortcoming, choose to embrace them with a warm gaze rather than point it out. A small act of mercy will first soften your own hardened heart.
