Or otherwise, and there is no correspondence between the First Creator and the Almighty Truth, for he is more incapable of knowing his agent than other agents of causes, since the object whose cause resembles its agent in some ways is incapable of realizing it and knowing it.

« has arrived » [the five powers and their true perceptions]
What we have mentioned is supported by the fact that man only perceives all information through one of the five powers, the sensory force. It is based on the five elements of smell, taste, touch, hearing, and sight. Sight perceives colours, variegated people, and persons according to a known limit of nearness and distance. So, the one from which it perceives at a distance is different from the one from which it is perceived at two miles, and the one from whom it perceives at twenty feet is different from the one from which it is perceived at a mile, and the one from which it perceives it with his hand in his hand encounters it different. The one who perceives it at twenty feet, the one who perceives it at two feet, a person does not know whether it is a human or a tree, and at one mile, it is known that it is a human, and at twenty feet, it is white or black, and on the other hand, it is blue or dark blue, and so on with all the other senses in their perceptions of proximity.
