Couplet 504-505


کاش چوں اصحابِ کہف آں روح را

Alas! The spirit be protected like of People of Cave



حفظ کر دے یا چو کشتی نوح را


Or like the way the boat saved Noah

تا ازیں طوفانِ بیداری و ہوش

So that the turbulence while being in senses



و ارہیدے ایں ضمیر و چشم و گوش


To rescue our heart, eyes and ears


              The conditions of dream and non-inclination towards world have been mentioned in the couplets above and hearing this, the Gnostics (عارفین), due to the fact that they are not liking any inclination towards other than Allah, expects that how good it would be if this spirit remains saved there in the عالیمِ مثال like those of People of Cave (this is in the words of Gnostics) and do not allow it to come here. Or if it may not be saved for309 years as for the People of Cave, then may be saved for a period for which the boat had saved Noah, which were few months. The desire is that how better it may be if this sleep would have been  longer, so that the hearts & senses are rescued from the storm, because of being in living and in senses, which occurs due to inclination towards other than Allah.

              The seeker (سالک) has been witnessing different conditions when the absorption overcomes him and he aspires in this way. Otherwise, the thought of other than Allah during the in-senses condition (بیداری) and removing/ erasing them deliberately produces efforts (مجاہدہ), which is better than the absorption.
