١١٧ السعيد في المحبة هو من ابتلي بمن يقدر أن يلقي عليه تعلة ولا تلحقه في مواصلته تبعة من الله تعالى ولا ملامة من الناس. صلاح ذلك ان يتوافقا في المحبة، وتحديده أن يكونا خاليين من الملل، فانه خلق سوء منغص ، وتمامه نوم الأيام عنهما مدة انتفاع بعضهما ببعض، وأنى بذلك إلا في الجنة. وأما ضمانه بيقين فليس الا فيها، فهي دار القرار، والا فلو حصل ذلك كله في الدنيا لم تؤمن الفجائع والقطع والهرم دون استيفاء اللذة.
