Eblis said, “No man who thinks ill, will hear the truth despite a hundred signs. When one who fantasises is presented with reason his fantasies increase. When one talks to such a person, their words become the very cause of that person’s fantasy. The crusader’s sword is a tool for a thief. So the response to him is silence and peace; to talk with an idiot is insanity. —Mathnawi-ye ma’nawi II 2714–17 By Rumi Quick View Author All Quotes, Rumi Tag: #confirmation-bias, #delusion, #eblis, #insanity, #malice, #sufism
