the two lofty and lofty ones in each body of them his share is according to the degree of his encounter with them in the estimation of the one the selfsufficient may his names be sanctified when he created him and prepared him so they always encounter each other and constantly dispute so if the mind overcomes the soul man is deterred and suppresses his intrusive impediments and is illuminated by the light of god and follows justice and if the soul overcomes the mind insight is blinded and the difference between good and bad is not clear and confusion increases and he falls into the abyss of ruin and the abyss of destruction and with this the command and prohibition are made good and compliance is obligatory and reward and punishment are valid and recompense is deserved. the spirit is a link between these two natures and a connector between them and the place of meeting with them and stopping at the limit of obedience is nonexistent except by length of training and sound knowledge and penetration of discrimination and with that avoiding exposure to temptations and interfering with people in general and sitting in homes and it is more appropriate that guaranteed safety occurs or the man is chaste and has no interest in women and no limb to help him with them. it was said in the past whoever is protected from the evil of his stork his cuckoo and his fluttering has been protected from the evil of the entire world. the stork is the tongue the cuckoo is the stomach and the vulva is the vagina.
الرفيعين العلويين ، ففي كل جسد منهما حظه على قدر مقابلته لهما في تقدير الواحد الصمد، تقدست أسماؤه، حين خلقه وهيأه؛ فهما يتقابلان أبدا ويتنازعان دأبا، فإذا غلب العقل النفس ارتدع الانسان وقمع عوارضه المدخولة واستضاء بنور الله وابتع العدل، وإذا غلبت النفس العقل عميت البصيرة، ولم يضح الفرق بين الحسن والقبيح، وعظم الالتباس وتردى في هوة الردى ومهواة الهلكة، وبهذا حسن الأمر والنهي، ووجب الامتثال ، وصح الثواب والعقاب، واستحق الجزاء. والروح واصل بين هاتين الطبيعتين، وموصل ما بينهما، ومحل الالتقاء بهما، وإن الوقوف عند حد الطاعة لمعدوم إلا بطول الرياضة وصحة المعرفة ونفاذ التمييز، ومع ذلك اجتناب التعرض للفتن ومداخلة الناس جملة والجلوس في البيوت، وبالحرى أن تقع السلامة المضمونة أو يكون الرجل حصورا لا أرب له في النساء ولا جارحة له تعينه عليهن. وقديما ورد من وقي شر لقلقه وقبقبه وذبذبه فقد وقي شر الدنيا بحذافيرها ؛ واللقلق السان، والقبقب البطن، والذبذب الفرج.
