FOOTNOTE NUMBER ELEVEN FIRST OBJECTION نیست شو تا بر تو فیضانی رسد جاں بیفشان تا دگر جانے رسد Negate yourself completely, so that you may receive favours of God; Lay down your life so that you are given a new life. تا تو زار و عاجز و مضطرنہ لائق فیضان آں رہبرنہ Unless you realize that you are helpless, weak and distressed, You cannot be worthy of the favours of that Guide. چون از آموزش خرد را یافتی پس از تعلیمیش چرا سر تافتی Since you found reason through the knowledge He taught you, Why then do you turn away from His teachings? اندرون خویش را روشن مدال آنچه می تابد بتابد ز آسمان Do not think that your heart is enlightened, Whatever has light, owes it only to the heavens. گور هست آں سینہ کزشک دور نیست کور هست آں دیدہ کش این نور نیست Blind is the eye that is devoid of this light, The heart that is not free from doubt is just a grave. اتقیا جمله ره دیدند از وحی خدا و صالحين و صادقین The righteous, the truthful, and the God-fearing, All found the right path through the revelation of God. آن کجا عقلی که از خود داندش فهمد آن شخصی که او فهماندش Where is the reason that can fathom God on its own? Only he can understand this, whom God Himself enables to understand. عقل بے و حیش بتے داری براہ بت پرستی ہاگنی شام و پگاه Without His revelation, your reason is like an idol barring your way, And you indulge in idol-worship day in, day out. 73
