"If it is accepted that the heart, like earth, yields a kind of its own product, then in order to create gardens and meadows of spiritualism, it always needs the water of faith, sincerity and love. If it is said that the heart is as hard as iron, then in order to melt it and make something useful and beauteous out of it, it needs the fire of giryah-u zâri, and real love. If the heart is supposed to be like a thing which needs to be washed over and over again, and if the heart is considered to be the ocean of life and survival and tears are considered as its pearls, then again there is is a need for the same action, i.e., giryah-u zâri, so that a befitting present of the lustrous pearls may be offered to the King of kings (our beloved Mowla).
 
When the heavy clouds on the shoulders of winds encircling the atmosphere cause it to rain in the spring, then on one hand there is the attractive scene of saturation and freshness in the garden, and on the other hand the beautiful string of shining and flashing pearls of watery drops on the petals of flowers and on the leaves of the trees. This is the best example of the sacred and pure tears which a mu'min shed in the sacred love of the true Imam (our beloved Mowla)."
