That which is not in accordance with the purpose, perfection, or mood, and is neither appropriate nor lawful, and all of that is perceptible and reasonable. So what is perceptible is what relates to the abode of misery of pain in this world and the hereafter, and relates to the abode of happiness of pleasures in this world and the hereafter, and of it is pure and mixed, so pure pertains to the hereafter, and mixed relates to the abode of this world. So the happy person appears in the image of the wretched, and the wretched in the image of the happy, and in the Hereafter they will be distinguished. The wretched may appear in this world with his misery and be linked to the misery of the Hereafter, and so is the happy person, but they are unknown, and in the Hereafter they will be distinguished, and they are distinguished today, O criminals, for there the ranks will be joined to their people with rights that will not be perforated or changed.

The meaning of the eight has become clear to you, which is the sum of the dominion expressed by the throne, and this is the fourth issue. The meaning of the eight has become clear to you, and these eight are for the eight proportions by which truth is described, which is life. Knowledge, power, will, speech, hearing, sight, and the perception of the tasted, the smelled, and the tangible in the manner befitting it, this perception has a connection to it just as the perception of hearing with what is heard and sight with what is seen, and for this reason the kingdom was limited to eight, so four of them are apparent in this world: the image, the food, and the two things, and on the Day of Resurrection all eight will appear clearly.
