Sanai's Comparison of His Teachings to Noah's Call in the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah

In Section 24 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai employs the Quranic narrative of the Prophet Noah to illustrate the difficulty and necessity of spiritual guidance. He details that during Noah's 950-year life, only 39 people accepted his message before the rest were destroyed in the Deluge. Sanai then draws a parallel between Noah's preaching and his own poetic work, describing his poetry as a life-giving spirit (tarawat-e ruh) that offers the path of salvation and growth (rah-e rushd o najat), regardless of whether the heedless accept or reject it.
