To the creatures of the sea, the sea is a garden. To the creatures of the land it is fatal. In the same way, O man, reckon up with intelligence the relations of these things in endless variety. In relation to this man, Zaid is as Satan. In relation to another he is as a Sultan. The latter calls Zaid a sincere Mussulman, the former calls him a Gueber deserving to be killed. Zaid, one and the same person, is life to the one, and to the other an annoyance and a pest.
[RUMI]
