Posted on December 03, 2024 by @hamed 6 1

English Translation for Hekayat

Whoever debates with someone more knowledgeable than themselves, so that others may think they are wise, it becomes known that they are foolish.

When a superior speaks,

Even if you know, do not object.

متن حکایت

هر که با داناتر از خود بحث کند تا بدانند که داناست، بدانند که نادان است.

چون در آید مِه از تویی به سخن

گرچه به دانی، اعتراض مکن

Saadi's wisdom here highlights the folly of attempting to appear wise by arguing with those who are more knowledgeable. It teaches us the value of humility and the importance of knowing when to listen rather than speak. Saadi's timeless insights continue to offer profound guidance on behavior and interactions.
