Description
Excerpt from Three Fundamental Principles of the Spiritual Life
A certain Persian prince was a great friend to learning. From all directions he gathered together learned writings for his library, and wherever he went his books had to accompany him. They, however, became after a time no small burden. He then com missioned some learned men to abridge the wisdom of the accumulated books into a num ber of volumes that could be conveniently carried on a camel. But as he found even this too laborious an undertaking after a time, the various books were further epito mized into one book, and finally this single volume into a smgle rule of life which the prince could carry everywhere without any trouble. And so all was easier and better.
