The owner of taste must see that his abandonment of the pursuit of the world and the desire for it has a divine effect in his heart.

[ The station, condition and levels of asceticism ]

So let us say that the ascetic we mentioned has a station and a state, so his divine station is absolute, and it is his asceticism in every divine name that prevents him from his servitude and the divine is restricted in the capacity of disclaimer of the rule of this name on him and the Rahmani is spending it on what he deserves, I mean this ascetic in him. farthest far and far In the arrogance of being a believer, then asceticism is in himself, which is the lowest and closest veil.

[ The saying of Abu Yazid the greatest in asceticism ]

Abu Yazid al-Akbar said, My asceticism is not in a position, for I was an ascetic three days. The saying of some of the people of the path and ignorance of the position of Abi Yazid in that, and we have talked about his intention with this saying and we have shown the corruption of this saying, I mean the saying of the objector in other than this place.

[ When should a slave renounce and when should he not renounce ]

And it is one of the stations that accompany the servant as long as it is not revealed to him. If the veil is revealed from the eye of his heart, he does not renounce and does not ought to renounce, for the servant does not renounce what he was created for, and he is not ascetic except for one who renounces what he was created for his sake. The truth is because what is not mine is not characterized by asceticism, and what is mine cannot be separated from it.

The fault is from you and you do not know *** So asceticism is like praying Witr

And the lamp of your soul, His light, is connected to *** with all that is in the universe

Turn off the lamp and remove all attachment *** So asceticism in you is the night of fate

Delicious from sunset until it ends *** judging you as the dawn

He says, If you saw the truth, you would not be ascetic, for God does not ascetic in creation, and you are not created except by God.

[ Chapter ninety-four on abandoning asceticism ]

Asceticism is abandonment and abandonment of abandonment is known *** that holding what is in the palm is seized

The earth is in his possession, and he is the rich, so where is the abandonment?

The truth is not blessed with grace, for you are for it *** and you have abstained from this wording

Asceticism has no rank in knowledge *** and leaving it to the people of the crowd is obligatory

[ Abandoning asceticism is the essence of your return to what you have abstained from. ]

Know that abandoning abandonment is constipation, and asceticism is abandonment, and abandoning asceticism is abandoning abandonment. It is the essence of your return to what you have abstained from, because true knowledge will return you to it, and the situation demands it, so it has no truth in the interior of the matter, but it has a ruling on the outside, so this amount of it is valid and remains. Desire for the possessed person, or not, out of desire, so people s situations differed in him

[ Different conditions of people in abandoning asceticism ]

Whoever withholds, not willingly, then he is an ascetic who is faithful to withholding the rights of others until he gives them to their owners at the appointed times. They are two men, the one returning from the position of asceticism, undoubtedly, for a disease that he has committed in himself. This is nothing. The other man, who are the prophets and perfections of the saints, so hold on to a mystical knowledge that produces for them a matter that he loves, including withholding knowledge and perfection, not out of miserliness and weakness of certainty.

God sent a man to Job a man of gold locusts, and they fell on him, and he began to gather them in his clothes, and God revealed to him: Was I not your song about this? He said, I am indispensable for your goodness.

See what knowledge gave him

[ There is no asceticism except for seeking the most, then asceticism in the least .]

And there is no asceticism of asceticism except to seek the most, so asceticism in the least. Say, the pleasures of this world are few. Where is the asceticism? So what they left the world without fearing that they would be mistreated in the Hereafter, this is the essence of greed and desire for what is imagined to be asceticism, and this is the place of abandoning asceticism.
