In Section 57 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai employs the metaphor of a ship and water to explain the proper spiritual attitude toward wealth. He compares wealth in the heart to water inside a ship, which leads to its sinking and destruction. Conversely, the wealth of a righteous reformer is compared to water under the ship, which serves as the very medium that allows the vessel to sail and progress safely. This metaphor illustrates that material wealth is not inherently evil; rather, its spiritual danger depends entirely on its placement—it must support the spiritual traveler externally rather than infiltrating and occupying the heart.
