We explained all the topics about goodness and its holy path, and yet the explanations fall short. For goodness starts with a few topics, but then each becomes like a deep sea with many jewels hidden at its levels, and each jewel again becomes the same. So no word of mouth can fully explain and no sun can fully illuminate all aspects of this holy science. The ancient injunction of "good thought, good word and good deed" is only three phrases but can fill up three hundred volumes. And following that seemed simple to us but as we tried to do it in real life many complexities and twists befell, so that it failed us and we failed it. That is why the poet said: "this path seemed easy at first, but then befell many problems"
So this work has come to an end, but our ail and ambitions not. We did our best in this book but now that I revise I see imperfections all over it like rashes on the skin of a smallpox man. And it did not become what I wanted but that's how much I was capable of. So I ask God for forgiveness for this imperfection. Indeed wisdom is like an endless river, or shoreless ocean that never ends, its concepts are overlapping and converging in many ways like wings of mythical dragon Simorgh. In the myth it is stated that Attar reached the height of mount Ghaf, where dragon Simorgh lived, and asked the questions of life, that who are we, and who brought us here. The Simorgh showed him the vastness of heaven and earth, and stated that there is yet another world beyond all these where flames are burning by themselves and even angels do not know how.
And by this I who am lesser than these legendary figures and far from the mount Ghaf, just wave my hands from where I am with tears in my eyes. And this work is offered as an attempt in the path of righteousness and responsibility. And after this imperfect offering I might feel sad. But the reader's prayers can come as a remedy, and a calming call through this stormy ocean. So that I found solace in the rest of my life. And when the time comes to close my eyes and depart from this world, the remembrance of this work, and that I did my best at the best, will be my last thought before I fly to the glory of Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Beauty and Truth in all the worlds.
