Saadi’s Gulistan is a fragrant garden of brief tales and couplets where ethics, wit, and devotion bloom together. Opening with praise for the Giver of breath, it wanders through courts and bazaars, roadside inns and monastic cells, gathering scenes of kings and beggars, merchants and sages. Each vignette glints with worldly realism and a Sufi warmth that invites humility, gratitude, justice, and mercy. Saadi teases out the follies of power and the tenderness of ordinary hearts, letting wisdom arrive as a smile, a sting, or a sigh. If you want guidance that feels lived in and luminous, stroll here and breathe.
