Imam Ali (AS) said, Knowledge has led them to real understanding and they have acquired the spirit of conviction. They take easy what the easygoing regard as hard. They are comfortable with that which the ignorant are repelled by. They live in this world with their bodies but their spirits are in the higher realm. They are the vicegerents of Allah on His earth and the callers to His religion. Ah, ah! How I yearn to see them.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : هَجَمَ بِهِمُ الْعِلْمُ عَلى حَقيقَةِ الإيمانِ (الْبَصيرةِ) وَ باشَرُوا رُوحَ اليَقينِ فاَسْتَسْهَلُوا (فَاسْتَلانُوا) مَا اسْتَوْعَرَ المُتْرَفُونَ وَ أنِسُوا بِمَا اسْتَوْحَشَ مِنْهُ الجاهِلُونَ وَ صَحِبُوا الدُّنيا بِأبْدان أرْواحُها مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِالمَحَلِّ الأعْلى أُولئِكَ خُلَفاءُ اللّهِ فِي أرْضِهِ وَ الدُّعاةُ إلى دينِهِ آه آه شَوْقاً إلى رُؤْيَتِهِمْ
