which means, “Ask knowledge about the path, for this is not the place of misguidance, and seek a trick from the intellect, for this is not a day on which there would be no trick. Look at the light of the truth with the eyes of the intellect, and do not say the light of manifestation is deception and fraud. Purchase from the store of the intellect what the soul asks, as there are a thousand hidden benefits in this purchase!” or said: «سر بي‌چراغ عقل گرفتار تيرگي است/ تن بي‌وجود روح پراكنده چون هباست»[1], which means, “The head without the lamp of the intellect is trapped in darkness, and the body without the soul is scattered like dust!” or said: «رهنماي راه معنى جز چراغ عقل نيست/ كوش پروين تا به تاريكي نباشي رهسپار»[2], which means, “The guide to the path of meaning is nothing but the lamp of the intellect, so strive, O Parvin, not to walk in darkness!” and other remarks like these that delight the heart and convince the intellect.
