But after what is the best of happiness and means and the chief of good deeds and virtues is the acquisition of true, divine wisdom and the completion of theoretical power by the acquisition of true sciences and certain knowledge...”, Explicit: “So focus on the medicine of contentment and to your Lord, so desire His love.
