English version by Peter Lamborn Wilson and Nasrollah Pourjavady Original Language Persian/Farsi My dear! You haven't the feet for this path -- why struggle? You've no idea where the idol's to be found -- what's all this mystic chat? What can be done with quarrelsome fellow travelers, boastful marketplace morons? If you were really a lover you'd see that faith and infidelity are one... Oh, what's the use? nit-picking about such things is a hobby for numb brains. You are pure spirit but imagine yourself a corpse! pure water which thinks it's the pot! Everything you want must be searched for -- except the Friend. If you don't find Him you'll never be able to start to even look. Yes, you can be sure: You are not Him -- unless you can remove yourself from between yourself and Him -- in which case you are Him.
