between him and his opponent in belief he did not realize the equality between his two states. how many issues did he believe in consideration then his belief changed in what he knows that the second is not like the first? we said that he knows that with a necessary knowledge that is not disputed. this is also your belief in two examples. there is no stronger speech than the heart and opposition in such articles for their habit is to extend the hand of adherence to problems that are not specific to the doctrine of a group so they confuse the minds of the common people with it and imagine that it is from the doctrine of their opponents. when will the poor common person notice that this is reversed against him in his doctrine? so we say this speaker believed in the doctrine of education and invalidating reasoning by imitation hearing from his parents or he heard a doctrine from his parents then he realized after that that it was invalid. if he said i believed it by hearing from my parents we say and the children of the christians the jews the magians and the children of those who differ from you in the matter of reasoning their upbringing occurred in opposition to your belief so how do you differentiate between yourselves and them? is it the length of the beards or the blackness of the faces or because of something else? imitation is comprehensive. and if you say no rather… we believed in your doctrine then we abandoned imitation and became aware of the correctness of the doctrine of education. we said you became aware of the invalidity of our doctrine based on intuition or on the consideration of reason. if it was based on intuition then how was the intuition hidden from you in the beginning from your fathers and from us and we are the rational ones and we have covered the face of the earth with its length and breadth? and if you knew that with your consideration then why did you trust in consideration? perhaps your subsequent state is like the previous state.
