Description
Excerpt from The Persian Mystics: Jámí
He too frequently displayed a fighting spirit, where tolerance and a willingness to admit of another point of view would have shown to greater advantage.
Jami commenced his education at Herat. He strongly objected to the disciplinary methods of instruction, was not studious as a boy, and pre ferred games rather than the study of books. But he was naturally clever, naturally quick at absorbing knowledge with a minimum of labour. It is said of him that he used to snatch a book from one of his fellow students while on his way to school and excel them all when they were examined in class.
