بخش ۳۵ / Section 35

Original content

خواجه بهاء الدین نقشبند را - قدس سره - پرسیدند که سلسله شما به کجا می رسد؟ فرمودند که از سلسله کسی به جایی نرسد.
از دلق و عصا صدق و صفایی نرسد

وز سبحه بجز بوی ریایی نرسد
هردم به کجا رسد مگو سلسله ات

کز سلسله هیچ کس به جایی نرسد

English translation

Khwaja Baha al-Din Naqshband - may his secret be sanctified - was asked: 'To where does your chain (silsila) reach?' He replied: 'From a chain one reaches nowhere.'

From the patched cloak and the staff, no sincerity and purity arrives, And from the prayer-beads nothing but the scent of hypocrisy arrives. Do not say each moment, 'To where does your chain reach?', For from the chain no one to anywhere arrives.
