The best of places for (the generous) youth is Gehenna.

Gehenna, alias Jahim, being the fiery place of eternal
punishment. And the second saying, _Al- nar wa la 'l-'Ar_--"Fire
(of Hell) rather than Shame,"--is equally condemned by the
Koranist. The Gustakhi (insolence) of Fate is the expression of
Umar-i-Khayyam (St. xxx):--

What, without asking hither hurried _whence?_
And, without asking _whither_ hurried hence!
Oh many a cup of this forbidden wine
Must drown the memory of that insolence.

Soofistically, the word means "the coquetry of the beloved one,"
the divinae particula aurae. And the section ends with Pope's:--

He can't be wrong whose life is in the right.



CONCLUSION


Here the Haji ends his practical study of mankind. The image of
Destiny playing with men as pieces is a view common amongst
Easterns. His idea of wisdom is once more Pope's:--

And all our knowledge is ourselves to know.
