“10: Man is even as steel, the essence of which is hidden: through admonition…”
Man is even as steel, the essence of which is hidden: through admonition and explanation, good counsel and education, that essence will be brought to light. If, however, he be allowed to remain in his original condition, the corrosion of lusts and appetites will effectively destroy him.
(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian) [10]
