A benefactor is still such when he has finished his benefactions; he knows not the difference between himself and others. Take up the task you have found, to benefit yourself; do not count your own toil. Look on the souls of other men as you look on your own; be a heap of pure qualities. Tuka says, God's submits himself to those whose long-stored patience is inexhaustible.
