بخش ۹۸ - تمثیل / Section 98 - Parable

Original content

خس و خاشاک بین که در تگ پا
می رود لحظه لحظه جای به جا

جنبش خس اگر ز خس دانی
رخش در کوی شرک می رانی

ور نبینی به غیر جنبش باد
وز خس و جنبشی نیاری یاد

غرقه موج بحر توحیدی
خسرو بارگاه تفریدی

ور همی بینی اش ز باد اما
دانی از جنبش خسش پیدا

عارف کاملی ز اهل طریق
کرده منزل به ذوره تحقیق

English translation

Behold the straw and chaff underfoot Moving moment by moment from place to place. If you believe the movement of the straw is from the straw itself, You are riding your steed in the street of polytheism. And if you see nothing but the movement of the wind, And do not spare a thought for the straw and its movement, You are drowned in the waves of the ocean of divine unity, The sovereign of the court of solitude/singleness. But if you see it from the wind, yet Recognize it through the manifest movement of the straw, You are a perfect gnostic of the people of the Path, Who has made his abode on the peak of verification.
