In the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai explores the necessity of spiritual effort and labor through allegories such as the fool and the farmer (Section 20) and the sheikh and his ignorant son (Section 63). Both narratives critique those who expect spiritual attainment without personal striving (jahd). While the fool expects an agricultural harvest without planting seeds, demonstrating an ignorance of spiritual cause and effect, the ignorant son expects to attain mystical status without sincere practice, relying instead on his father's position. Together, these stories underscore Sanai's core teaching that divine reward requires diligent action rather than passive expectation or inherited merit.
