بخش ۶ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 6 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

پیش شیخی رفت مردی نامدار
از سر بی خویشئی بگریست زار

گفت سیرم از عبودیت همی
وز ربوبیت بمن نرسد دمی

مانده ام بی این و بی آن من مدام
چون کنم گفتا که سر می زن مدام

این سخن را گر محل آید پدید
از سر علم و عمل آید پدید

چشم باید داشت بر لوح ازل
چند دارم چشم بر علم و عمل

English translation

A renowned man went to a Sheikh, Crying bitterly in a state of selflessness. He said, 'I am entirely weary of servitude, And from Lordship, not a breath reaches me. I am left constantly without this and without that, What should I do?' He said, 'Keep striking your head constantly. If a place for these words appears, It appears through knowledge and action. One must keep their eyes on the Tablet of Eternity, How long should I keep my eyes on knowledge and action?'
