While at the Kafur stage of spiritual journey the God-intoxicated wayfarer is described as himself seeking to drink the wine of God’s love (v. 6) and at the Zanjabil stage he is served by others with the life-giving beverage (v. 18), at the last or Salsabil stage God Himself gives him to drink the elixir of everlasting life. This is a significant graduation in the three kinds of drink. Camphor has a cooling and ginger a warming effect, and Salsabil means to pursue naturally the appointed course. The first drink is tempered with camphor. It helps to cool desires and passions. The second drink, tempered with ginger, stimulates the pursuit of righteousness and Salsabil marks the stage in which the believer will naturally follow the righteous course.
