Forty-one years in India

CHAPTER LXVIII
63/120

There are many things which you cannot understand, but our Government understands them well.
It often happens that a thing which is unpleasant at first is regarded as a blessing afterwards.

Now, my kind friend, I inform you that the enemy of your famous religion wants to make peace with you through the Kaisar (Sultan) of Turkey.

Therefore you should look to your brothers who live on the other side of the river.

If God stirs them up, and gives the sword of fight into their hands, then go on, in the name of God (Bismilla), otherwise you should be as a serpent; make peace openly, and in secret prepare for war, and when God reveals His order to you, declare yourself.

It will be well, when the Envoy of your enemy wants to enter the country, if you send an able emissary, possessing the tongue of a serpent and full of deceit, to the enemy's country, so that he may with sweet words perplex the enemy's mind, and induce him to give up the intention of fighting with you.
My kind friend, I entrust you to the protection of God.
