بخش ۱۷ - جواب به سوال اول / Section 17 - Answer to the First Question

Original content

دگر گفتی مسافر کیست در راه
کسی کو شد ز اصل خویش آگاه

مسافر آن بود کو بگذرد زود
ز خود صافی شود چون آتش از دود

سلوکش سیر کشفی دان ز امکان
سوی واجب به ترک شین و نقصان

بعکس سیر اول در منازل
رود تا گردد او انسان کامل

English translation

Again you asked, 'Who is the traveler on the path?' He who has become aware of his own origin. The traveler is he who passes quickly, And becomes pure of self, like fire from smoke. Know his journey to be a revelatory travel from the contingent Toward the Necessary, by abandoning defect and deficiency. Reversing the first journey through the stages, He travels until he becomes the Perfect Man.
