Whether in a hundred years or in a moment, you must relinquish this trust and let it go.
The explanation is that prayer, fasting, and all external things are testimonies to the inner light.
These prayers, fasting, pilgrimage, and struggle are all testimonies of belief.
This almsgiving, gifts, and abandonment of envy are also testimonies of one's essence.
Feasts and hospitality are to show sincerity, saying, "O guests, we have become sincere with you."
Gifts and offerings are evidence that I am happy with you.
Everyone strives with wealth or trickery to show that they possess an inner gem.
I have a gem of piety or generosity; this almsgiving and fasting testify to both.
Fasting says he practiced piety with what is lawful, so know that he has no connection with what is forbidden.
And his almsgiving says that he gives from his own wealth, so how could he steal from the people of faith?
If he commits theft, then the two witnesses are discredited in the court of divine justice.
If the hunter scatters grain, it is not out of mercy or generosity but for the sake of hunting.
The fasting cat lies in wait for raw prey.
This crookedness has made a hundred tribes suspicious and has defamed the people of generosity and fasting.
The grace of God, even though he weaves crookedly, ultimately purifies him from all this.
His mercy has surpassed that treachery, giving a light that the full moon does not possess.
God has washed his efforts from this mixture, cleansing him with His mercy from this impurity.
So that His forgiveness becomes apparent, and His complete forgiveness becomes his protector.
Water was sent from the heavens to cleanse the impure from filth.
Water cleanses all impurities, and then God Almighty purifies the water from impurity, thus God Almighty is holy.
When water becomes polluted and impure, it is rejected by the senses.
Come, O impure ones, to me, for I have taken on the nature of God.
I accept all your ugliness, and like a king, I grant purity to the demon.
When I become tainted, I return there, to the origin of all purity.
I remove the filthy cloak from my head, and once again, I am given a pure garment.
This is His work, and this is my work; the Lord of the worlds is the adornment of the world.
If it weren't for our impurities, how would water have this duty?
Bags of gold are stolen from someone, and they go everywhere, asking, "Where is the poor one?"
Or they pour it on a growing plant, or wash the face of an unwashed one.
Or they carry it on their head like a porter, carrying a ship without hands and feet in the sea.
Hundreds of thousands of medicines are hidden within it, for every medicine grows from it.
The soul of every pearl, the heart of every seed, moves in the stream like a pharmacy.
It nurtures the orphans of the earth, and from it, the dry-bound ones find their way.
When its essence is gone, it becomes dark, just like us, bewildered on the earth.
The water seeks help from God Almighty after becoming dark.
It cries out from within, "O God, I have given what you gave me and am left a beggar.
I have poured my capital on the pure and impure, O king, giver of capital, is there more?"
It tells the cloud to take it to a pleasant place, and you, O sun, lift it up high.
It travels various paths until it reaches its boundless sea.
The purpose of this water is the soul of the saints, which is the cleanser of your darkness.
When it becomes dark from the treachery of the people of the earth, it returns to the purity-giving throne.
It returns from that side, dragging its hem, teaching them lessons from the purities of the ocean.
From the mixture of creation comes balance, seeking that which brings us rest, O Bilal.
