چونکہ بُوئے بُرد شکرِ آں نہ کرد
And
when smelled the odour and don’t offer gratitude
کفرِ نعمت آمد و بینیش خورد
This would be rejection of bounty, and as if he chops his nose
شُکر کن مر شاکراں را بندہ باش
Offer
gratitude and be the slave of the saints
پیشِ ایشاں مردہ شو پایندہ باش
Be like a corpse before them and obtain eternal life
چوں وزیر از رہزنی جامہ مساز
Don’t
be looters like the vizier
خلق را تو برمیاور از نماز
Don’t stop people from offering prayers
Now
as you have achieved the discrimination of talks of Gnostics (saints) and inspite of
knowing this, if you do not recognize him i.e. do not follow him, then it
becomes the rejection of bounties (نعمت)
and one's power of discrimination will be taken away i.e. this power of his won’t
work for him. Allah says in Quran (14:7) –
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I
will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is
severe.' "
Therefore,
it is obligatory on you to offer gratitude and follow them i.e. to become the
slave of these saints. One has to finish one’s desires before these saints and
become like corpse and thereby obtain the eternal life. And leaving their following,
don’t be an inept master (sheikh) yourself, which would be like the vizier in
the story to mislead the seekers and don’t stop the seekers from prayers (نماز)
i.e. to stop from desiring Truth. As the one who gets trapped in the hands of inept
master, he could not be able to go anywhere else to seek guidance.
