The Author, a Sufi mystic, asserts that Happiness and Misery are equally divided and distributed in the world. He makes Self-cultivation, with due regard to others, the sole and sufficient object of human life.He suggests that the affections, the sympathies, and the "divine gift of Pity" are man’s highest enjoyments. He advocates suspension of judgment, with a proper suspicion of "Facts, the idlest of superstitions." Finally, although destructive to appearance, he is essentially reconstructive.

Very good Kindle Edition of an incredible work,
By Mark Twain (Underground, or not.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi (Kindle Edition)
What I liked about this Kindle Edition was that the footnotes were well preserved and available to read reasonably quickly after each footnote number appeared in the text; that there were no OCR errors and very, very few typographical errors; and most importantly that the NOTES were included. The full set of additional Notes are not included in many other free public editions.Warning: this Kasidah contains a carefully considered critique of world religious thought, from the time before the Egyptians to approximately 1880.
