  • In the old woman there is a soul that mingles (with the body): the pictured forms in the hot-baths have no (rational) spirit.
  • در عجوزه جان آمیزش‌کنیست  ** صورت گرمابه‌ها را روح نیست 
  • If the pictured form in the hot-bath should move, it would at once separate thee from the old woman.
  • صورت گرمابه گر جنبش کند  ** در زمان او از عجوزه بر کند 
  • What is soul? (Soul is) conscious of good and evil, rejoicing on account of kindness, weeping on account of injury.
  • جان چه باشد با خبر از خیر و شر  ** شاد با احسان و گریان از ضرر 
  • Since consciousness is the inmost nature and essence of the soul, the more aware one is the more spiritual is he.
  • چون سر و ماهیت جان مخبرست  ** هر که او آگاه‌تر با جان‌ترست 
  • Awareness is the effect of the spirit: any one who has this in excess is a man of God. 150
  • روح را تاثیر آگاهی بود  ** هر که را این بیش اللهی بود 
  • Since there are consciousnesses beyond this (bodily) nature, in that (spiritual) arena these (sensual) souls are (like) inanimate matter.
  • چون خبرها هست بیرون زین نهاد  ** باشد این جانها در آن میدان جماد 
  • The first soul is the theatre of the (Divine) court; the Soul of the soul is verily the theatre of God (Himself).
  • جان اول مظهر درگاه شد  ** جان جان خود مظهر الله شد 
  • The angels were entirely reason and spirit (till) there came a new Spirit of which they were the body.
  • آن ملایک جمله عقل و جان بدند  ** جان نو آمد که جسم آن بدند 
  • When, by happy fortune, they attached themselves to that Spirit, they became subservient to that Spirit, as the body (is subservient to the spirit dwelling in it).
  • از سعادت چون بر آن جان بر زدند  ** هم‌چو تن آن روح را خادم شدند 
  • Hence Iblís (Satan) had turned his head away from the Spirit: he did not become one with it because he was a dead limb. 155
  • آن بلیس از جان از آن سر برده بود  ** یک نشد با جان که عضو مرده بود
