بخش 97 - شرح کردن موسی علیه‌السلام آن چهار فضیلت را جهت پای مزد ایمان فرعون

Secondly, thou wilt have a long life, for death will be cautious of (attacking) thy life;

And after a life uniform (in happiness) this will not be (the sequel, namely) that thou wilt go forth from the world against thy will;

Nay, but (thou wilt go) desiring death as the sucking babe (desires milk), not on account of the pain that holds thee captive.

Thou wilt be seeking death, but not from painful infirmity; nay, thou wilt see the treasure in the ruin of the house (of the body).

Therefore with thine own hand thou wilt take a pick-axe and smite upon the house without any care;

For thou wilt deem the house to be the barrier to the treasure, and this single grain to be the obstacle to a hundred corn-stacks.

This grain, then, thou wilt cast into the fire and adopt the (only) profession that is worthy of a man.”

O thou who because of (addiction to) a single leaf hast been left without (enjoyment of) a (whole) orchard, thou art like the worm which (desire for) a leaf has driven away from (deprived of) the vineyard.

When Grace awakened this worm, this worm devoured the dragon of ignorance.

The worm became a vineyard full of fruit and trees: even so is the blessed man transformed.
