The dryness and coldness resulting from sulūk (spiritual journeying) intensify, and equilibrium (itidāl) is attained. This occurs if the temperament (mizāj) of the sālik (spiritual traveler) is in equilibrium. However, if the temperament is at the extreme of heat (ḥarāra) and dryness (yabāsa), then at the initial state of kashf (unveiling), the sālik's nourishment must be in a state where coldness (burūda) and moisture (ruṭūba) are abundant, or this unveiling must be such that its coldness is strengthened. If the temperament is hot and moist, then the nourishment must be at the highest degree of equilibrium among these qualities. If the temperament is cold and dry to a degree matching, exceeding, or falling short of the nature of this unveiling, then the nourishment must surpass it in heat and moisture. In the second unveiling, if this kashf, which dominates the temperament, contains heat and moisture to a degree matching, exceeding, or falling short of its nature, then the nourishment must bring the coldness and dryness into equilibrium. In summary, the sālik must observe moderation and know the subtleties of sulūk (spiritual journeying). (Asfār, 141)
If you reach the vegetative unveiling (kashf-i nabātiyya) but do not remain there or become enamored with it, the veil over the animal realm is lifted. You are commanded to turn towards yourself, and you greet yourself in clear language just as people greet one another, and you come to understand yourself as the sāḥib (possessor) of your own harms and benefits. (Asfār, 143)
