O friend who is listening to this story with me! Of course you have understood that the glorious ruler built this palace for the above-mentioned aims. The achievement of these aims is dependent on two things:

The First: The existence of the master whom we saw and whose speech we heard. Because if it were not for him, all these aims would be in vain. For if an incomprehensible book has no teacher, it consists only of meaningless paper.

The Second is the people accepting the master's words and heeding them. That is to say, the master's existence is the cause of the palace's existence, and the people's listening to him is the cause of the continuation of the palace's existence. In which case it can be said that if it were not for the master, the glorious king would not have built the palace. And again it may be said that when the people do not heed the master's instructions, the palace will of a certainty be transformed and changed.
