(٥٣) ای مغروران باموال فانيه بدانيد که غنا سدّيست محکم ميان طالب و مطلوب و عاشق و معشوق * هرگز غنی بر مقرّ قرب وارد نشود و بمدينه رضا و تسليم در نيايد مگر قليلی * پس نيکوست حال آن غنی که غنا از ملکوت جاودانی منعش ننمايد و از دولت ابدی محرومش نگرداند * قسم باسم اعظم که نور آن غنی اهل آسمان را روشنی بخشد چنانچه شمس اهل زمين را *
O YE THAT PRIDE YOURSELVES ON MORTAL RICHES! Know ye in truth that wealth is a mighty barrier between the seeker and his desire, the lover and his beloved. The rich, but for a few, shall in no wise attain the court of His presence nor enter the city of content and resignation. Well is it then with him, who, being rich, is not hindered by his riches from the eternal kingdom, nor deprived by them of imperishable dominion. By the Most Great Name! The splendor of such a wealthy man shall illuminate the dwellers of heaven even as the sun enlightens the people of the earth!
