In Section 133 of Jami's Subhat al-Abrar (part of Haft Awrang), the poet reflects on the Quranic verse, 'Whatever is with you will be exhausted, and what is with God remains' (Quran 16:96). Jami contrasts the transient, ruinous nature of the physical body (خانه تن) with the eternal spiritual realm of the soul and heart. He argues that while the physical body requires basic material sustenance (metaphorically referred to as 'water and clay' or 'morsels of food'), any investment or consumption beyond what is strictly necessary to perform acts of devotion is considered a wasteful extravagance (saraf). Thus, the poem promotes spiritual preservation and material moderation as pathways to aligning oneself with the eternal, indestructible reality of God.
