Part 7: On Morality

After that come the stations of good character, which are the marks of the Creator's own attributes. Patience, then contentment, gratitude, and modesty; honesty, and self-sacrifice for the sake of God. Good nature, and then humility is beautiful; then generosity, then an open heart, my friend.
Explanation: The 'stations' (manzilat) are stages on the spiritual path where a soul acquires virtues that reflect divine qualities. 'Fotovvat' means chivalric generosity and nobility of spirit.
