Four consolation (№ 350040)

The Governor of the city ordered the arrest of Buzurgmehr and thrown in jail. Pupils came to visit his teacher in prison. They were amazed to see that their teacher hasn't changed and joyfully welcomes them as if they were guests in his home.
- Teacher, what is your comfort here in the house of sorrow? cried the disciples.
Four sayings, replied Buzurgmehr. - Here is the first: "Evil no one can escape, because everything is predetermined by fate." Here's the second: "What remains to do in misfortune, not patiently endure his suffering? After all, the whole Universe, not only are you experiencing something like that." Here is the third: "Be grateful for the fact that it wasn't the worst - it is always possible." And finally, I say to myself: "Deliverance may be near, though you do not know about it."
At this moment the guards came with the news that Sufi free, for grabbed it by mistake.
