Prescribed for you when any of you is approached by death and leaves behind some good is to make testament in favor of his parents and kinsmen honorably-an obligation on those that fear. The testament regarding one's wealth is recommended for anyone who has wealth to leave behind. But if one leaves nothing behind what is the use of a testamentḍ The circumstance of the wealthy is such that they bequeath it in thirds at the end of their lives. The friends depart from their living entirely and therefore leave nothing but an aspiration himma which has become separated from them and detached from anything. Because there is no way for the aspiration to [reach] the Real and [because it no longer has] an attachment to anything [the aspiration] remains alone separate and disconnected.They have recited: As long as I am living I will love you and when I die my decaying bones will keep loving you in the ground. This is their testament. And it is even as another of them said: The traces tell that they left not long ago. They returned to their lands and my tears flowed for them.
