In the Indian town of Surat, there is a coffee-house where many travellers and foreigners from all parts of the world meet and converse. One day a learned Persian theologian visits this coffee-house. He is a man who has spent his life studying the nature of the Deity, and reading and writing books upon the subject. He has thought, read, and written so much about God, that he eventually lost hiswits, became quite confused, and ceased even to believe in theexistence of a God. The Shah, hearing of this, has banished himfrom Persia.
