  • His devotions are good (in form), but the spirit is not good: the walnuts are many, but there is no kernel therein.” 3395
  • طاعتش نغز است و معنی نغز نی ** جوزها بسیار و در وی مغز نی‏
  • Spiritual savour is required, in order that devotions may yield fruit: a kernel is required, in order that the berry may produce a tree.

  • How shall a berry without kernel become a sapling? The soulless form is naught but phantasy.

  • ور که باور نیستت خیز امشبان ** تا ببینی فسق شیخت را عیان‏
