حکایت شمارهٔ ۱۲

یکی از ملوک بی انصاف پارسایی را پرسید از عبادت‌ها کدام فاضل تر است گفت تو را خواب نیم روز تا در آن یک نفس خلق را نیازاری.

ظالمی را خفته دیدم نیم روز
گفتم این فتنه است خوابش برده به

وآنکه خوابش بهتر از بیداری است
آن چنان بد زندگانی مرده به

Golestan by Sa'di #12
Oppressive Rulers - and how we assist in their rise to power

In Episode 12 of the Golestan Series, Sa'di recounts a charming little parable about tyrannical king who wants to know what prayer will grant him more wisdom to which the sage responds: "a siesta is the best prayer for you, so that you might give your subjects a breather from your tyranny!"

Watch this short video through to the end and enjoy as Arash interprets another brief but profound tale from Sa'di about oppressive kings then turns the table on us the people and asks how we might allow a tyrant to rise to power.
