200 یک قدم دوری ازان روشن کتاب نزد ما کفر است و خسران و تباب To stay even one step away from that Illuminating Book, Is, in my view, kufr, loss, and destruction. لیک دونان را به مغزش راه نیست هر دلی از سرّ آن آگاه نیست But evil people fail to realize the essence of the Quran; Not all hearts are acquainted with its mysteries. تا نباشد طالبی پاک اندرون چگون تا نجوشد عشق یار بی Until the time that a seeker after truth becomes pure-hearted, And so long as the love of that Friend—like unto Whom there is no other—does not burst forth in his heart, راز قرآن را کجا فهمد کسی بهر نوری نور می باید بسی Until then, how can anyone fathom the verities of the Quran? To understand the Light [of God], one needs to have much inner enlightenment. ست فرموده همین قرآن من نه این است بوده تطهّر تطهّر شرط اندرو This is not what I say, but the Quran itself states this, That one needs to be pure in order to understand it. به قرآن هر کسی را راه بود گر به قرآن تطهّر را فزود پس چرا شرط تطهّر If everyone could have understood the Quran himself, Then why would God have made purity a condition?
