Burn Thought and Expression Entirely!

I look not at the tongue and the speech; I look at the inward (spirit) and the state (of feeling). 
I gaze into the heart (to see) whether it be lowly, though the words uttered be not lowly, Because the heart is the substance, speech (only) the accident; so the accident is subservient, the substance is the (real) object. 
How much (more) of these phrases and conceptions and metaphors? I want burning, burning: become friendly with that burning! Light up a fire of love in thy soul, burn thought and expression entirely (away)! 
The Masnawi - Volume 2, 1760
