as for those below this level we have seen many of them but we did not name them because of their obscurity. this is a level that if the one who is passionate reaches it hope has grown and greed has vanished. there is no cure for it through union or anything else since corruption has taken hold in the brain knowledge has been lost and the affliction has prevailed. may god protect us from the affliction with its length and spare us from punishments by his grace.
وأما من دون هذه الطبقة فقد رأينا منهم كثيرا، ولكن لم نسمهم لخفائهم، وهذه درجة إذا بلغ المشغوف إليها فقد انبت الرجاء وانصرم الطمع، فلا دواء له بالوصل ولا بغيره، إذ قد استحكم الفساد في الدماغ، وتلفت المعرفة وتغلبت الآفة، أعاذنا الله من البلاء بطوله، وكفانا النقم بمنه.
