How the beasts asserted the superiority of trust in God to exertion and acquisition.

They all said: “O knowing sage, let precaution alone: it is of no avail against the Divine decree.
In precaution is the embroilment of broil and woe: go, put thy trust in God: trust in God is better.
Do not grapple with Destiny, O fierce and furious one, lest Destiny also pick a quarrel with thee.
One must be dead in presence of the decree of God, so that no blow may come from the Lord of the daybreak.”
