In Section 32 of Haft Awrang, Jami recounts the classic tale of a master, his wife, and a cat to illustrate the absurdity of self-deception and the impossibility of reconciling false excuses with reality. The master weighs the cat after his wife claims it ate a portion of meat, only to find the cat's weight equals exactly that of the meat. Jami uses this allegory to challenge spiritual hypocrisy, showing that when actions and claims are measured against the scale of truth, false justifications immediately collapse under their own logical contradictions.
