1438-1447

  • O Giver of (all) understandings, come to my help: none wills (aught) unless Thou will (it).
  • Both the desire (for good) and the good action (itself) proceed from Thee: who are we? Thou art the First, Thou art the Last.
  • Do Thou speak and do Thou hear and do Thou be! We are wholly naught notwithstanding all this hewing. 1440
  • Because of this resignation (to Thy will) do Thou increase our desire for worship (of Thee): do not send (upon us) the sloth and stagnation of necessitarianism.
  • Necessitarianism is the wing and pinion of the perfect; necessitarianism is also the prison and chains of the slothful.
  • Know that this necessitarianism is like the water of the Nile— water to the true believer and blood to the infidel.
  • Wings carry falcons to the king; wings carry crows to the graveyard.
  • Now return to the description of non-existence, for it (non-existence) is like bezoar, though you think it is poison. 1445
  • Hark, O fellow-servant, go and, like the Hindú boy, be not afraid of the Mahmúd of non-existence.
  • Be afraid of the existence in which you are now: that phantasy of yours is nothing and you (yourself) are nothing.
