SHAH NEMATOLLAH VALI
رند آن باشد که میل هستی نکند وز خویش گذشته خودپرستی نکند
Rand ān bāshad ke meyl-e hasti nakonad / Vaz khish gozashte khodparasti nakonad
The true free spirit is one who has no desire for selfhood, and having passed beyond himself, worships himself no more.

طاعت ز سر جهل به جز وسوسه نیست عارف نشوی به منطق و هندسه تو
Worship rooted in ignorance is nothing but temptation; you will not become a mystic through logic and geometry.
Shah Nematollah Vali
هر آینهٔ که در نظر می گذرد تمثال جمال او نظر می نگرد تمثال خیالیست و لیکن ذاتش در آینه تمثال به ما می نگرد
Every mirror that passes before the eye reflects the image of His beauty; the image is but a semblance, yet His essence gazes back at us from within that mirrored form.
