"Hû, developed ones of Marifet!"

"Hû, Marifet traveller! Where do you come from, where are you going?"

"We are coming from Marifet and going to the Hakikat, the secret."

You cannot go! There is snow, there are impassable mountains, there are unfordable rivers. You cannot cross these passes, you cannot pass these floods. There are great obstacles, there are very difficult surroundings... Those would come, come! If you would come, do not turn! The goods depart of those who come, the soul departs of those who turn! Die but offer yourself. Die! Do not turn from offering... These I have said to you, and I would have you hear, my children."
