بخش ۵۲ - جواب آن / Section 52 - The Answer to That

Original content

گفت هر جا شد این شناسایی
موجب عطلت و تن آسایی

آن نشان شقاوت از لیست
اثر لعن و طرد لم یزلیست

هر کجا باشد سبب مجاهده را
محنت کوشش و مکابده ار

آن دلیل سعادت است و نجات
موجب نیل رفعت درجات

مثل آن چو آب نیل آمد
بر بلا و ولا دلیل آمد

قبطیان را ازان دهان پر خون
سبطیان را ازو روان افزون

هر که را در طبیعت اطلاق است
خوردن قابضش چو تریاق است

هر که را قبض باشد و قولنج
او ز قابض ملال بیند و رنج

هست قابض یکی ولی هر جا
اثر دیگرش شود پیدا

اثرش در یکی دوا و علاج
در دگر مایه فساد مزاج

وین تفاوت درین صلاح و خلل
هست ناشی ز اختلاف محل

English translation

He said, wherever this recognition became The cause of idleness and bodily ease, That is a sign of pre-eternal wretchedness, The effect of the eternal curse and rejection. Wherever it is a cause for striving, For the hardship of effort and endurance, That is a proof of felicity and salvation, The cause of attaining the highest ranks. Its example is like the water of the Nile, Which became a proof of affliction and friendship. For the Copts, it filled their mouths with blood, For the Israelites, it increased their spirit. Whoever has looseness in their nature, Eating an astringent is like an antidote to them. Whoever has constipation and colic, He sees distress and pain from an astringent. The astringent is one, but everywhere A different effect of it appears. Its effect in one is a medicine and cure, In another, the source of the corruption of temperament. And this difference in this soundness and defect, Is arising from the difference in the recipient.
