Original content

سیدالطایفه جنید - قدس سره - می گوید: حکایات المشایخ جند من جنودالله، یعنی سخنان مشایخ در علم و معرفت راسخ لشکریست از لشکرهای خدای تعالی به کشور هردل که عزیمت تابد مخالفان نفس و هوا را روی در هزیمت یابد.
هجوم نفس و هوا گر سپاه شیطانند

چو زور بر دل مرد خداپرست آرند
بجز جنود حکایات رهنمایان را

چه تاب آنکه بر آن رهزنان شکست آرند

English translation

The master of the order, Junayd - may his soul be sanctified - says: 'The tales of the masters are a troop from the troops of God,' meaning that the words of the shaykhs, firmly rooted in knowledge and gnosis, are an army from the armies of God Most High; to whatever land of the heart it directs its resolve, there the adversaries of the carnal soul (nafs) and passion are turned to flight.

Though the onslaught of the nafs and passion be Satan's host, When they bring their force to bear upon the heart of the God-worshipping man, Save the armies of the tales of the spiritual guides, What has the power to bring defeat upon those highwaymen?
