And I put on him the robe of humiliation, poverty, and brokenness, so his life was good, and he saw his Lord, and his sociability increased, and he was freed from the burden of the loaned trust that must be taken from him
[ Man’s ascension on the ladder of knowledge ]
A person, from the time of ruqyah on the ladder of ascension, will have a divine manifestation according to the ladder of his ascension. For every person among God’s people has a ladder of his own, in which no one else ascends, and if anyone ascends on the ladder of anyone, prophethood would be acquired. Every ladder assigns a special rank in itself to everyone who is promoted in it. Scholars were promoted in the ladder of the prophets, and prophecy was attained through their advancement in it. This is not the case, and the divine breadth would be removed by repeating the command. It has been proven with us that there is no repetition in that aspect, except that the number of ranks of exaltation are all the prophets, saints, believers, and messengers. Equality does not exceed one rung on a ladder. The first level is Islam, which is submission, and the last of the stairs is annihilation in ascension and survival in going out, and between them is what remains, which is faith, benevolence, knowledge, sanctification, exaltation, richness, poverty, humiliation, glory, coloring, and empowerment in coloring, annihilation if you are outside, and survival if you are entering it, and in every level. When you depart from it, your inner being decreases as much as the knowledge of manifestation increases in your outward appearance until it ends.
