A group of wise men were discussing a matter of state in the presence of Khosrow, and Bozorgmehr, who was the chief among them, remained silent.
They asked him, “Why do you not speak with us in this discussion?”
He replied, “Ministers are like doctors, and a doctor does not give medicine except to the sick. So, when I see that your opinion is correct, it is not wise for me to speak on the matter.”
When a task is accomplished without my interference
It is not appropriate for me to speak on it
But if I see a blind man near a well
If I remain silent, it is a sin.
