Read› Daftar 5› Describing the faint-heartedness and weakness of the sheltered Sufi, unaccustomed to striving, untouched by the pain and passion of love; inflated by the common people’s prostrations, hand-kisses, respectful glances, and pointing fingers, saying, 'He is the Sufi of our time.' Imagining himself a champion on this path, he goes to battle with warriors, intending to display valor in lesser jihad, as if he is exceptional in the greater jihad. He sees a lion in his mind's eye, performs brave deeds, becomes intoxicated by this bravery, and heads for the forest to hunt a lion, while the lion, in the language of its state, says, 'Indeed, you will know. Then, indeed, you will know.'› beyt 3752
