بخش ۷ / Section 7

Original content

ابوهاشم صوفی - قدس سره - گفته است که کوه را به نوک سوزن از بیخ کندن آسان تر است از زنگ کبر از دل بیفکندن.
لاف بی کبری مزن کان از نشان پای مور

در شب تاریک بر سنگ سیه پنهان تر است
وز درون کردن برون آسان مگیر آن را کزان

کوه را کندن به سوزن از زمین آسان تر است

English translation

Abu Hashim the Sufi — may his secret be sanctified — said that it is easier to uproot a mountain from its base with the tip of a needle than to cast the rust of pride out of the heart. Do not boast of being free of pride, for that trace is more hidden than the print of an ant's foot upon a black stone in the dark of night. And do not deem it easy to bring it out from within, for uprooting a mountain with a needle from the earth is easier than that.
