Can you see the beauty of great literature, like The
Book of Mirdad? If you cannot see it, you are blind.
I have come across people who have not even heard the
name of The Book of Mirdad. If I am to make a list of the
great books, that will be the first. But to see the beauty
of it you will need a tremendous discipline.
