Your intellect is like the camel driver and you are the camel.
-The Masnavi 1:2497, Rumi
Our drovers were to the last one of them men of thought before action, adding the sugar before the flake when brewing tea for a reason only they could say. And we Khawajas were ever at a disadvantage, for they were both smart about driving camels and about camels in the general sense, while we were smart about neither. And the tea that we sometimes brewed for them never tasted right.
