Hatem said: You are not safe in this world unless you possess four characteristics - (1) overlook the ignorance of man (2) conceal your ignorance from them, (3) seek their good (4) don't seek anything from them.

ومن أول الطریقة تبتدئ المكاشفات ( والمشاهدات ) ، حتى أنهم في یقظتهم یشاهدون الملائكة ، وأرواح الأنبیاء ویسمعون منهم أصواتاً ویقتبسون منهم فوائد. ثم یترقى الحال من مشاهدة الصور والأمثال ، إلى درجات یضیق عنها نطاق النطق ، فلا یحاول معبرأن یعبر عنها إلا اشتمل لفظه على خطأ صریح لا یمكنه الاحتراز عنه.
وعلى الجملة. ینتهي الأمر إلى قرب یكاد یتخیل منه طائفة الحلول ، وطائفة الاتحاد ،
وطائفة الوصول ، وكل ذلك خطأ. وقد بینا وجه الخطأ فیه في كتاب (( المقصد الأسنى
)) ؛ بل الذي لابسته تلك الحالة لا ینبغي أن یزید على أن یقول :

وكان ما كان مما لستُ أذكره
فظنَّ خیراً ولا تسأل عن الخبرِ!

INTELLECT AND ITS NOBLE NATURE. The noble nature of knowledge has been revealed through intellect. Intellect is the source and fountainhead of knowledge and its foundation. Knowledge is like the fruit of a tree and it flows from intellect, or like the light of the sun or like the vision of the eye. Why should it not be honored when it is the cause of fortune in this world and the next? What is there to distinguish between beasts and men except intellect? Even a ferocious beast which has got more strength than man fears a man at seeing him as it knows that he may put him into snare on account of his intellect.
