Fools Venerate The Mosque!

He (the prophet or saint) smiles upon you, (but) do not deem him to be such (as he appears): in his inward consciousness are hidden a hundred Resurrections. 
Hell and Paradise are entirely parts of him: he is beyond any thought that you may conceive (of him). 
All that you may think of is liable to pass away; he that comes not into thought is God. Wherefore (then do they behave with) presumption at the door of this house, if they know who is within the house? 
Fools venerate the mosque and endeavour to destroy them that have the heart (in which God dwells). 
That (mosque) is phenomenal, this (heart) is real, O asses! The (true) mosque is naught but the hearts of the (spiritual) captains. 
The mosque that is the inward (consciousness) of the saints is the place of worship for all: God is there.
