When ever we recollect His Speech, All creatures are driven away from mind. It imprints an image of God in the heart; All else from the heart it removes. For the kind-hearted, it is the only cure; Except for God, it is the only guide unto Him. (25) We found it to be the only guiding light; ‘Tis the only thing we’ve seen that charms the heart. The ones who deny Him whatever they say, They simply make nonsensical talk.
