another group surpassed this level.. and began to follow the path.. and the doors of knowledge opened for them.. so whenever they smelled a scent from the principles of knowledge they were amazed by it.. and rejoiced in it.. and admired its planting.. so their hearts became attached to turning to it.. and contemplating it.. and in how its door opened to them.. and its intensity for others.. and all of that is delusion.. because the wonders of the path of god almighty have no end.. so whoever stops at every wonder.. and restricts himself to it his steps will be shortened.. and he will be deprived of reaching the destination.. and his example is the example of someone who came to a king.. and saw the door of his field as a garden with flowers and lights.. and he had never seen it before.. nor seen anything like it.. so he stood looking at it until the time passed in which he could meet the king so he left disappointed.
وفرقة أخرى جاوزت هذه المرتبة.. وابتدأوا سلوك الطريق.. وانفتحت لهم أبواب المعرفة.. فكلما شموا من مبادئ المعرفة رائحة تعجبوا منها.. وفرحوا بها.. وأعجبهم غراسها.. فتعلقت قلوبهم بالالتفات إليها.. والتفكر فيها.. وفى كيفية انفتاح بابها عليهم.. واشتدادها على غيرهم.. وكل ذلك غرور.. لأن عجائب طريق الله تعالى ليس لها نهاية.. فمن وقف مع كل أعجوبة.. وتقيد بها قصرت خطاه.. وحرم الوصول إلى المقصد.. ومثاله مثال من قدم على ملك.. فرأى باب ميدانه روضة فيها أزهار وأنوار.. ولم يكن قد رآها قبل ذلك.. ولا رأى مثلها.. فوقف ينظر إليها حتى فاته الوقت الذى يمكنه اللقاء بالملك فانصرف خائبا.
