(٣٦) ای پسر تراب حکمای عباد آنانند که تا سمع نيابند لب نگشايند چنانچه ساقی تا طلب نبيند ساغر نبخشد و عاشق تا بجمال معشوق فائز نشود از جان نخروشد * پس بايد حبّه های حکمت و علم را در ارض طيّبه قلب مبذول داريد و مستور نمائيد تا سنبلات حکمت الهی از دِل برآيد نه از گِل *
O SON OF DUST! The wise are they that speak not unless they obtain a hearing, even as the cup-bearer, who proffereth not his cup till he findeth a seeker, and the lover who crieth not out from the depths of his heart until he gazeth upon the beauty of his beloved. Wherefore sow the seeds of wisdom and knowledge in the pure soil of the heart, and keep them hidden, till the hyacinths of divine wisdom spring from the heart and not from mire and clay.
