They said, "Sayyid Burhanuddin speaks very well, but he quotes Sanai's poetry too often." This is like saying the sun is good but it gives too much light. Is it a fault? To quote Sanai's words is to cast light on the discourse. The sun casts light on things, and one can see things that are of no use. The real sun is that which casts light on things that are of use; the sun in the sky is metaphoric and secondary to the real sun. You too, in proportion to your own partial intellect, have your heart set on the real sun and seek its light of knowledge in order to see something intangible and in order for your knowledge to increase. You have expectations of understanding and comprehending something from every master and every friend. So we realize that the sun is something other than the physical sun: it is something from which revelation of realities and truths comes. We realize too that this partial knowledge in which you take refuge and pleasure is secondary to the great knowledge of which your partial knowledge is but a "ray". This "ray" calls you to the original sun of great knowledge. These are they who are called unto from a distant place [41:44]. You try to pull that knowledge toward yourself. It says, "I won't fit there, and it will take you a long time to get here. It is impossible for me to fit there, and it is difficult for you to come here." It may be impossible to do the impossible, but it is not impossible to do the difficult. So, although it is difficult, strive to reach that great knowledge, but do not expect to contain it here, for that is impossible. Similarly, out of their love for God's wealth the rich gather money bit by bit in order to acquire the attribute of wealth through the "ray" of wealth. This "ray" of wealth says, "I am calling to you out of that great wealth. Why are you trying to pull me to where I cannot be contained? Come rather toward this wealth." In short, the principal thing is the end, and may it be praiseworthy. A praiseworthy end is like a tree whose roots are firmly established in the spiritual garden and whose branches and fruit hang over into another place. When the fruit falls, in the end it should be taken back to the garden where its roots are. In the opposite case there is glorification and shouting hallelujah in outward form, but because the roots are in this world all the fruit is carried to this world. If both are in the garden of the other world, then that is light upon light [24:35].
