Aphorism 4
Knowledge is meant to nourish your faith, not to fill your belly with the world's goods.
Whoever sold off restraint, learning, and devotion
gathered up a harvest, then watched it burn to ash.

حکمت شمارهٔ ۴
علم از بهر دین پروردن است نه از بهر دنیا خوردن.
هر که پرهیز و علم و زهد فروخت
خرمنی گرد کرد و پاک بسوخت
