دفتر اول - بخش ۲۲ - تخلیط وزیر در احکام انجیل / Book One - Section 22 - The Vizier's Falsification in the Precepts of the Gospel

Original content

ساخت طوماری به نام هر یکی
نقش هر طومار دیگر مسلکی

حکم های هر یکی نوعی دگر
این خلاف آن ز پایان تا به سر

در یکی راه ریاضت را و جوع
رکن توبه کرده و شرط رجوع

در یکی گفته ریاضت سود نیست
اندرین ره مخلصی جز جود نیست

در یکی گفته که جوع و جود تو
شرک باشد از تو با معبود تو

جز توکل جز که تسلیم تمام
در غم و راحت همه مکر ست و دام

در یکی گفته که واجب خدمتست
ور نه اندیشهٔ توکل تهمتست

در یکی گفته که امر و نهی هاست
بهر کردن نیست ، شرح عجز ماست

تا که عجز خود بینیم اندر آن
قدرت او را بدانیم آن زمان

در یکی گفته که عجز خود مبین
کفر نعمت کردن است آن عجز هین

قدرت خود بین که این قدرت ازوست
قدرت تو نعمت او دان که هوست

در یکی گفته کزین دو بر گذر
بت بود هر چه بگنجد در نظر

در یکی گفته مکش این شمع را
کاین نظر چون شمع آمد جمع را

از نظر چون بگذری و از خیال
کشته باشی نیم شب شمع وصال

در یکی گفته بکش باکی مدار
تا عوض بینی نظر را صد هزار

که ز کشتن شمع جان افزون شود
لیلی ات از صبر تو مجنون شود

ترک دنیا هر که کرد از زهد خویش
بیش آید پیش او دنیا و بیش

در یکی گفته که آنچت داد حق
بر تو شیرین کرد در ایجاد حق

بر تو آسان کرد و خوش آن را بگیر
خویشتن را در میفکن در زحیر

در یکی گفته که بگذار آن خود
کان قبول طبع تو رد ست و بد

راه های مختلف آسان شدست
هر یکی را ملتی چون جان شدست

گر میسر کردن حق ره بدی
هر جهود و گبر ازو آگه بدی

در یکی گفته میسر آن بود
که حیات دل غذای جان بود

هر چه ذوق طبع باشد ، چون گذشت
بر نه آرد همچو شوره ریع و کشت

جز پشیمانی نباشد ریع او
جز خسارت پیش نارد بیع او

آن میسر نبود اندر عاقبت
نام او باشد معسر عاقبت

تو معسر از میسر بازدان
عاقبت بنگر جمال این و آن

در یکی گفته که استادی طلب
عاقبت بینی نیابی در حسب

عاقبت دیدند هر گون ملتی
لاجرم گشتند اسیر زلتی

عاقبت دیدن نباشد دست باف
ورنه کی بودی ز دین ها اختلاف

در یکی گفته که استا هم توی
زانک استا را شناسا هم توی

مرد باش و سخرهٔ مردان مشو
رو سر خود گیر و سرگردان مشو

در یکی گفته که «این جمله یکیست
هر که او دو بیند احول مردکی ست

در یکی گفته که صد یک چون بود
این کی اندیشد مگر مجنون بود

هر یکی قولیست ضد هم دگر
چون یکی باشد یکی زهر و شکر

تا ز زهر و از شکر در نگذری
کی تو از گلزار وحدت بو بری

این نمط وین نوع ده طومار و دو
بر نوشت آن دین عیسی را عدو

English translation

He made a scroll in the name of each one; The content of each scroll was a different path. The injunctions of each were of a different kind— This contrary to that, from end to beginning. In one, the path of asceticism and hunger Was made the pillar of repentance and condition of return. In one he said: asceticism is of no use; On this path there is no deliverance except generosity. In one he said: your hunger and your generosity Would be associating partners with your Worshipped One— Except trust in God, except complete submission; In sorrow and ease, all else is deceit and snare. In one he said: service is obligatory; Otherwise the thought of trust is a false accusation. In one he said: there are commands and prohibitions— They are not for doing; they are an account of our incapacity, So that we may see our own incapacity in them And know His power at that moment. In one he said: do not look at your own incapacity— That incapacity is ingratitude for blessings, beware! See your own power, for this power is from Him; Know your power as His blessing, for He is it. In one he said: pass beyond these two— Whatever can be contained in sight is an idol. In one he said: do not extinguish this candle, For this sight is like a candle for the assembly. When you pass beyond sight and imagination, You will have extinguished the candle of union at midnight. In one he said: extinguish it, have no fear— So that you may see a hundred thousand in exchange for sight, For from extinguishing the candle the soul increases, And your Layla will grow mad through your patience. Whoever renounces the world through their own asceticism, More of the world will come before them, and more. In one he said: what the Truth has given you The Truth has made sweet for you in creation; He has made it easy and pleasant—take it; Do not cast yourself into hardship. In one he said: abandon that self of yours, For what your nature accepts is rejected and bad. The different paths have become easy; Each has become a religion, like a soul. If God's making-easy were itself the path, Every Jew and Zoroastrian would know of it. In one he said: that which is truly made easy Is the life of the heart, the nourishment of the soul. Whatever has the taste of mere nature—when it passes— Yields nothing, like saline soil, no return or crop. Its yield is nothing but regret; Its trade brings nothing forward but loss. That was not easy in the end; In the end its name will be difficulty. Distinguish the difficult from the easy; Look toward the end, at the beauty of this and that. In one he said: seek a master; You will not find foresight through noble lineage. Every kind of community has looked toward the end; Therefore they inevitably became captives of error. Seeing the end is not a handmade craft— Otherwise, when would there be disagreement among religions? In one he said: the master is also you, For you are also the one who knows the master. Be a man, and do not be made a tool of men; Go, take your own way, and do not wander bewildered. In one he said: all this is one; Whoever sees two is a cross-eyed little man. In one he said: how can a hundred be one? Who would think this unless he were mad? Each statement is contrary to the others— How can there be one when one is poison and one is sugar? Until you pass beyond poison and sugar, When will you catch the fragrance from the rose garden of unity? In this manner and style, ten scrolls and two Were written by that enemy of the religion of Jesus.
