Amir al-Mu’minin[ Imam Ali(pbuh)] stated to his followers:
“Be among people as like as honeybee among birds
Every bird sees honeybee as an unable and ineffective animal! But if they know what is hidden inside it, they will never act like this again.
Have apparently associations with people, but avoid copying their thinking and action.
Actually, every one will gainb whatever s/ he has gained. And in doomsday, s/ he will be with the one who s/he has been interested in.
You won’t gain whatever you like and wish except…
[The ones who] remain stable and firm on this issue; like kohlin eyes or salt in food.
