A description of the experience
Saadi - The Gulistan of Sa‘di – 14 from The Morals of Dervishes
Strive by your acts to be good and wear anything you like.
Place a crown on your head and a flag on your back.
The abandoning of the world, of lust, and of desire
Is sanctity, not the abandonment of the robe only.
It is necessary to show manhood in the fight.
Of what profit are weapons of war to an hermaphrodite?
