To you the soul is humbled after dignity
And the soul is humbled only before those it loves.
And the soul is not humbled except to whom it loves

So do not drive it to beg from anyone but you,
So do not compel it with questions for others
Lest it ask the worthy and the unworthy.
Lest it ask about who is equal and who was not equal
