In spite of all this, they are sovereigns,
And they remain contented in all circumstances.(187)
Their guise is worldly but their conventions are righteous,
And none else like them is apparent in the whole world.(188)
They are determined and adept in their godly recollection,
And they comprehend the truth, adore it and worship it as well.(189)
Although they remain in worldly pretence from head to feet,
You will never find them negligent of the Almighty, for a moment
even.(190)
Their body may be a handful of dust,
But the virtuous Almighty has endowed them with piety.(191)
And this body of dust becomes the embodiment of godliness through
his recollection,
Because they are the manifestation of the divine endowment.(192)
