The Freeman..

[Abu Hafsat]

 As-Salaam alaikum,

              "There is security in solitude, freedom in the absence of desire, friendship

                 in lack of envy, joy in patience. There is no glory for the greedy person, nor

               is there humiliation for the person who is content. The freeman becomes a

              slave because of his immoderate desires, and the slave is freed through contentment."  (Shams Tabriz).
