   • c. 1599, Bahāʾ al‐Dīn ʿĀmilī, کشکول‎^[4]:

     و اگر در تنهائی نبود، شود که در سکوت بود هر چند که سلامت تنهائی از آن سکوت بیش است. و اگر در سکوت نبود، شود که در سخن سلف صالح بود. اما خوشبخت کسی است که در نفس خویش خلوت یابد و خداوند موفقیت می دهد.

     u agar dar tanhā'ī na-buwad, šawad ki dar sukūt buwad har čand ki salāmat-i tanhā'ī az ān-i sukūt bēš buwad. u agar dar sukūt na-buwad, šawad ki dar soxan-i salaf-i sālih buwad. ammā xwašbaxt kasē ast ki dar nafs-i xwēš xalwat yābad u xudāwand muwaffaqīyat mē-dihad.

     And if he is not in solitude, he could still be in silence, although the blessings of solitude are greater than those of silence. And if he is not in silence, he could be in conversation with the pious forefathers. But lucky is the person who finds a place for solitude in his own soul, and to whom the Lord gives success [in the mystical endeavor].
