### [367.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.367.1)

فرآب جذوة نار أحرقت بلدا وبا آن کی شرارت آتش را سبب احتکاک زند ، واصطکاک قداحه است ، چون از کتم عدم در فضای ظهور ووجود می آیذ ، آهن را موم ، وسنگ را آب می کنذ ؛ برین مقیاس ومنوال حادثهآ خرد را کی خوار داشته آیذ ، ودشمن ضعیف را کی خرد شمرده شوذ ، نتیحهآ آن بزرگ گردذ ، وبأمور معضل ومهمات مشکل آنحامذ ، چنانک تلافی آن در حیر وفم نگنجذ ، وادراک خاطر از استدراک آن عاجز آیذ :

> "For often a firebrand has burned down a city."  
> And despite the spark of fire having as its cause the friction of a fire-stick and the rubbing  
> of a flint, when it comes forth from the concealment of nonexistence into the open space of manifestation and being, it turns iron  
> into wax and stone into water. By this measure and rule, trivial incidents that are held in contempt,  
> and a weak enemy who is deemed negligible, their outcomes become momentous,  
> and lead to perplexing affairs and grave difficulties, such that remedying them cannot be contained in speech  
> and mouth, and the mind's grasp falls helpless before redressing them:
