And the wayfarer, after traversing the high planes of this
supernal journey, entereth the Valley of Contentment. In this Valley he feeleth the winds of divine
contentment blowing from the plane of the spirit. He burneth away the veils of
want, and with inward and outward eye, perceiveth within and without all things
the day of: “God will compensate each one out of His abundance.” [Qur’án 4:129]
From sorrow he turneth to bliss, from anguish to joy. His grief and mourning
yield to delight and rapture.
Although to outward view, the wayfarers in this Valley may
dwell upon the dust, yet inwardly they are throned in the heights of mystic
meaning; they eat of the endless bounties of inner significances, and drink of
the delicate wines of the spirit.
