When the (spiritual) eye has become piercing, he (the owner) sees without causes. You who are in (the bondage of) sense-perception, pay you heed to causes!
بیسبب بیند چو دیده شد گذار ** تو که در حسی سبب را گوش دار
He whose spirit is beyond (the world of) natural properties— to him belongs the position of power to rive (the chain of) causes.
آن که بیرون از طبایع جان اوست ** منصب خرق سببها آن اوست
The (spiritual) eye regards the fountain of the miracles of the prophets as (being) without cause, not as (arising) from water and herbage.
بیسبب بیند نه از آب و گیا ** چشم چشمهی معجزات انبیا
These causes are (linked together) like the physician and the sick: these causes are like the lamp and the wick.1845
این سبب همچون طبیب است و علیل ** این سبب همچون چراغ است و فتیل
Twist a new wick for your night-lamp, (but) know that the lamp of the sun transcends these things.
