There was a dervish who used to say, "Knife upon the throat of man." "Man" in Hindustani means "I." People asked the dervish what he meant, and he said, "The goats and sheep say 'Man, man, man.' I say: a knife upon their throat for this! A man who says 'I' deserves to be killed like the goats and sheep who are slaughtered because they say 'man'."
