- The word “sacy” (struggle, endeavour) comprises all the exalted meanings of knowledge and action. Struggle according to true guidance, is done through the body, soul and intellect.
- It also alludes to the correct and successful spiritual exercise (riyazat). For, the real struggle is the one in which a wise person not only awakens his capabilities and uses them correctly, but also perfects them to the highest degree.
