Oh!
He said: "Yes."
He said, "Oh!"
Someone said, "I'll five you all ther prayes of my life - you give me that 'Oh'."
He said, "Now, it's fitting for me too."
Look at this allusion - he's saying that, he's the lover. That's a dervish.
Following Muhammad is that he went on the mi'raj - you also should go in his tracks. Strive to gain a settling place in the heart. When you are seeking this world, that is not in speech, but rather in engaging with the secondary causes. You should be seeking the religion. This also is not in speech, but rather in never leaving obedience. You should be seeking God by never leaving the service of the Men.
Your sitting companion should be better than you -
then your position and rank will increase...
