اما عزمت علی معظم من الأمر فاکتمه کی نظفرا فإن صلاح العدو الغشوم علی قص أمرک آن یظهرا و جز با کسی که درخور محرمیت و شایستهٔ‌ مشورت باشد و به دلایل و براهین عقل ثابت و متحقق گشته که کشف آن راز با وی موجب فتح باب مقصود و مقتضی سد طریق التفات ضمیر و اندیشهٔ‌ دل خواهد گشت، نگشاید زیرا که این نوع بههیچ وجه از دو حالت خالی نتواند بود، این مهمی که حادث گشته است و آن حاجتی که پیش آمده عاقبت آن بهاتمام مقرون گشتنی هست یا نه، اگر قلم تقدیر بر صحایف ازل به حکم «جف القلم بما هو کائن»1 چنان رفته است که زمام آن قلم مثال بهدست نیاید و عقدهٔ‌ محکمش به لطایف حیل عقل مشکل گشای نگشاید، باری از طعن و شماتت اعدا و اندوه خاطر که از حدت نار جحیم و شدت عذاب الیم به گوش جان خبر میدهد، ایمن ماند و داغ خجالت و شرمساری بر ناصیهآ وجود ننشیند، و اگر به مساعدت قرانات سعد سیهر نیلگون و معاضدت اقبال سماوی و بخت روزافزون حصول آن تیسر پذیرفتنی تواند2 بود که چون دشمن بدسگال و حسود بطال را از آن

> "When you resolve upon a momentous matter, conceal it that you may succeed;  
> For the benefit of the tyrannical enemy lies in your matter becoming known."  
> and must not disclose it except to someone who is worthy of intimacy and fit for consultation, and concerning whom it has been established and verified by rational proofs and arguments  
> that disclosing that secret to him will bring about the opening of the door to the objective and necessitate blocking the path of distraction for  
> the mind and the heart's contemplation; because this kind of situation can under no circumstance be free of two states:  
> this important affair that has arisen, and that need which has presented itself—is its final outcome destined to be completed  
> or not? If the pen of destiny on the tablets of pre-eternity, according to the decree "The pen has dried regarding what is to be,"  
> has so proceeded that the reins of that pen's design cannot be attained, and its tight knot cannot be undone by the subtle ruses of problem-solving intellect,  
> at least one remains safe from the taunt and malicious joy of enemies, and from the sorrow of heart that brings tidings to the ear of the soul of the heat of the fire of Hell and  
> the severity of painful torment, and the brand of shame and humiliation will not settle upon the forehead of  
> one's existence. And if, through the assistance of the auspicious conjunctions of the azure sphere and the support of heavenly fortune and ever-increasing luck,  
> its attainment might be facilitated, \[it may happen\] that when the ill-wishing enemy and the idle envier obtain awareness and knowledge of that
