  • Sabzawár is this world, and in this place the man of God is wasted and goodfor- naught.
  • Khwárizmsháh is God Almighty: He demands from this wicked folk the (pure) heart.
  • He (the Prophet) said, “He (God) doth not regard your (outward) form: therefore in your devising seek ye the owner of the Heart.”
  • (God says), “I regard thee through the owner of the Heart, not because of the (external) marks of prostration (in prayer) and the giving away of gold (in charities).” 870
  • Since thou hast deemed thy heart to be the Heart, thou hast abandoned the search after those who possess the Heart—
  • The Heart into which if seven hundred (heavens) like these Seven Heavens should enter, they would be lost and hidden (from view).
  • Do not call such fragments of heart as these “the Heart”: do not seek an Abú Bakr in Sabzawár!
  • The owner of the Heart becomes a six-faced mirror: through him God looks upon (all) the six directions.
  • Whosoever hath his dwelling-place in (the world of) six directions God doth not look upon him except through the mediation of him (the owner of the Heart). 875
  • If He (God) reject (any one), He does it for his sake; and if He accept (any one), he likewise is the authority.
