دفتر پنجم - بخش ۱۰ - گواهی فعل و قول بیرونی بر ضمیر و نور اندرونی / Book Five - Section 10 - The Witness of External Action and Speech to the Inner Conscience and Inner Light

Original content

فعل و قول آمد گواهان ضمیر
زین دو بر باطن تو استدلال گیر

چون ندارد سیر سرت در درون
بنگر اندر بول رنجور از برون

فعل و قول آن بول رنجوران بود
که طبیب جسم را برهان بود

وآن طبیب روح در جانش رود
وز ره جان اندر ایمانش رود

حاجتش ناید به فعل و قول خوب
احذروهم هم جواسیس القلوب

این گواه فعل و قول از وی بجو
کو به دریا نیست واصل هم چو جو

English translation

Action and speech are the witnesses of the inner mind; From these two, draw your inferences about the hidden interior. Since your secret thoughts cannot travel deep inside, Look at the urine of the sick person from the outside. Action and speech are like that urine of the sick, Which serves as diagnostic proof for the physician of the body. But that physician of the spirit penetrates into his soul, And through the path of the spirit, enters into his faith. He has no need for fine actions or speech: 'Beware of them, for they are the spies of hearts.' Seek this witness of action and speech from one Who is not yet united with the ocean, but is like a stream.
