Just as the pain and sting of a bee's wound fades when a snake approaches you,
Just as a naked person jumps into the water to escape the sting of bees,
The bee circles above, and when it raises its head, it is not spared.
The water is the remembrance of God, and the bee at this time is the memory of this and that.
Breathe in the water of remembrance and be patient to escape old thoughts and obsessions.
After that, you will naturally acquire the purity of that water from head to toe.
Just as the bee flees from the water, it will also take caution from you.
After that, you may stay away from the water, as you will have the nature of a water companion.
Many have passed from this world, yet they are not free and are entangled in attributes.
In the attributes of God, all their attributes are like stars before that signless sun.
If you want a reference from the Quran, O stubborn one, read "All are present with Us."
The present is not nonexistent, look closely to know the certainty of the soul's permanence.
The soul veiled from permanence is in much torment, the soul united in permanence is free from veils.
From this lamp of animal sense, I told you not to seek union.
Connect your soul quickly with the holy souls of the travelers.
If you have a hundred lamps or twenty, they are separate and not united.
That is why all these companions of ours are at war; no one heard of war among the prophets.
One dies, one remains until the day, one is withered, the other is bright.
The animal soul lives from food, it dies for good and bad.
If this lamp dies and is extinguished, the neighbor's house does not become dark.
The light of that house stands without this one, so the sense lamp of each house is separate.
This is an example of the animal soul, not an example of the divine soul.
Again, when the moon rises from the dark night, light falls on every window.
Consider the light of those hundred houses as one, so that this light does not remain without the other.
As long as the sun shines on the horizon, its light is in every house.
Again, when the sun of the soul sets, the light of all houses disappears.
This is an example of light, not a flute; it guides you and misleads the enemy.
Like the spider with its ugly nature, it weaves thick curtains.
From its saliva, it made a curtain of light, blinding its perception.
If it grabs the horse's neck, it will hit; if it grabs its leg, it will kick.
Do not sit on an untamed horse without a bridle; make reason and religion your guide, and peace.
Do not look weak and lowly in this tune, for in this path is patience and the splitting of souls.
