For That Bewildering Beloved Haira (Perplexity) http://www.untiredwithloving.org/hairat.html One of the dear Murids (Seekers of the Divine) in Mexico complained about feelings of being lost and anguish, unbeknownst to this friend, this is the way the Voyage upon this Path commences and continues and ends!
This write-up is verbatim from Farhang-eh Istilahat-eh Irfani (The Dictionary of Gnostic Terminologies) by Sajjadi, mostly based upon Rouzbihan Baqli Shirazi's Sharh-eh Shat-hiyat, Khajeh Abdallah Ansari and Farided-Din Attar. I feel so sorry for those who are confident about the little knowledge they acquired, whether the secular of you or the religious of you, for when there is no Haira (Perplexity) there is no Voyage whatsoever! If I travel in a strange new country, not knowing their language and not knowing any friends not having any maps, for sure I will be lost multiple times here and there for this reason or that reason. The person who stayed home never gets lost! They are always confident and happy because no matter what they do, they are always there! Doust-eh Gom-Ghashte-gaan, the friend of the wandering souls, Faqir (Pauper) --DARA The Eyeless Lion
