Page 288 - from Volume Two (Display Image)Is it in particular on the judgment of *** who sees it, or by description, O wise one? [ companion asks for appropriate ]Know, may God help you when companionship asks for the right thing, and he says, There is nothing like it, and the evidence of the mind judges by it. He has sovereignty, and the world is slaves, so it is a service and not company, but companionship is abstained from one side, and it is true on the other side, as we mention. The truth is not in the owner of any of the creatures except with the company that the legislator wanted. in Saying you are the companion in travel In that sense, as we have taken him as an agent in what is his property, and because he is the doer of what he wants, as he said, he is not effective for what you want unless your will agrees with his will, and you do not will unless God wills that you will. In the path of truth it is impossible, only his Lordship accompanies the Lord, but the world accompanies him for the validity of this condition of him. To be with his owner so that what his owner wants from him, but he is with what It is revealed to him that he does not do except according to him, so he accompanies and does not accompany, and for this reason companionship is not an act of doers, and likewise the king does not accompany anything but his king, so he also accompanies and does not accompany, for the people are with the Messenger in their company by virtue of what is prescribed for them.
