One of the righteous saw in a dream a king in paradise and a pious man in hell.
He asked, “What is the reason for the ranks of this one and the degradation of that one? For people believed the opposite.”
A voice replied, “This king is in paradise because of his devotion to the dervishes, and this pious man is in hell because of his closeness to kings.”
What use is a patched cloak and a woolen robe
Keep yourself free from blameworthy deeds
You do not need a felt hat
Be dervish-like and wear a Tatar cap.
