بخش ۶۱ - در بیان آنکه ملازمت مصلی مر شطر مسجد حرام را بنا به انقیاد امر حق و اتباع شریعت اوست و الا هویت حق سبحانه چنانکه در قبله مصلی هست در جمیع جهات هست / Section 61 - Explaining that the Worshipper's Turning to the Direction of the Sacred Mosque is Out of Obedience to God's Command and Adherence to His Sharia, Otherwise God's Essence Exists in All Directions Just as It Does in the Worshipper's Qiblah

Original content

گر مصلی کند به وقت صلاة
روی در کعبه از جمیع جهات

باشد از حق بدان جهت مأمور
ور نه حق نیست اندر آن محصور

روی در روی او بود هیچ کس
نیست در قبله مصلی و بس

گرچه در هر جهت بود موجود
لیک در یک جهت شود مسجود

حق بود چون محیط و کعبه چو شط
نیست این دور ازان به هیچ نمط

تا کنی در محیط زان شط ره
گفت ولوا وجوهکم شطره

ره ز شط در محیط ببریدن
هست در شط محیط را دیدن

English translation

If the worshipper at the time of prayer Turns towards the Kaaba from all directions, He does so because he is commanded by God to face that way, Otherwise, God is not confined therein. No one stands directly face-to-face with Him, And He is not limited only to the worshipper's Qiblah. Although He exists in every direction, Yet in only one direction does He become the object of prostration. The Truth is like the encompassing ocean, and the Kaaba is like the shore; They are not distant or separate from each other in any way. So that you may find a way from that shore to the encompassing ocean, He said: 'Turn your faces towards its direction.' To traverse the path from the shore to the encompassing ocean, Is to behold the ocean itself within the shore.
