What will I do...

What will I do if the world turns its back on As-Safi? (by Khazrat Tebu)

I’ll go off on my own, batten down the hatches. No one in the world owes me anything. Which also means that in the future, I won’t owe anything to anyone. Especially cheesemakers of all stripes who like to bask in other people’s sudden glory.
There are goals. There are many. It is necessary to surpass "Manas" in 500K lines, thus receiving the title - a classic at God. Then it is necessary to surpass 700K lines to get the title - a great classic at God. Then it is necessary to reach the mark of 800K to prove that the success was not accidental.
And then - as it turns out. There is a magic number - 1M lines of poetry, something fantastic, which must also be surpassed, insha Allah.

In the end, only Illinois University at Urbana-Champaign University Library responded to us on the merits of the question, expressing a desire to consider the possibility of placing the original text of the Octalogy of more than 400 thousand lines in remote free access for all mankind.

The persuasion of Mecca in Russia is over, the persuasion of Mecca in the world is over too.
We began a solo voyage, with hatches battened down, without going to the surface. As promised. Alhamdu liLlahi.
