Page 321 - from Volume Two (Display Image)The letter meaning and the meaning of the letter is a consonant *** and no eye can see other than its meaning And the heart in terms of what its nature gives it *** wanders between its meaning and its meaning The glory of God, so what does it contain from anyone *** After this, we have expanded it And it was not I who said, but the hadith came with it *** about God, and this wording is its content When God wanted the truth to dwell in him *** for that he is just in character and other than him So the eye of my existence was the eye of his image *** a true revelation and no one knows it but Him God is the Greatest, there is nothing like Him *** and there is nothing else but Him, rather He is Him So what does the eye of an eye see but nothingness *** Passover, the perceived existence is God No one sees God but God, so consider my words so that He may know its merits and consolations (And from what this section also includes our saying) In an incident in which I saw the truth addressing me in the sense of what is in these verses, and he called me by a name that I had never heard except from him, the Most High, in that incident, and he was a narrator. The book is longer than it is here, and I did not drink from it here except what happened I caught you in my house to show my picture *** Glory to you is my glory and glory be to us Your eyes have not seen a complete likeness of me *** nor have an eye like you seen a human being There is no more complete in the possible than you *** I have established a proof on this from the Sharia What perfection was none other than you *** in every way, that was what they were I appeared to my creation in the image of Adam *** and I decided this in the laws out of faith If it was possible to be more complete than you *** then the deficiency would exist in if they were Because you are specific to the image of my presence *** and more complete than what is possible for me ( And what is included in this chapter is also what we said ) God is great that anyone should make mistakes *** He is the Beloved, Most High, Sayyid Samad The sun catches up with us and the sun catches up with it *** Yes, and from it we have kindness and affection And we see it and it is visible *** like the manifestation, and no one has succeeded in it The light prevents us from adapting it *** So how can he who does not have it, how can he unite? The quality and quantity of the description of a body and there is no body, no condition or number ( And what is included in this chapter is also what we say ) Hasten to make up for what has passed from your life *** and to take your provision, the Most Merciful, on your travels And say to him with desire, O the ultimate of my hope *** How longing for secret and meaning is your news I knew that when I saw from *** the presence in it was still in your sight Were it not for the annihilation and the denial of the proverb about you, and what *** has come about you from burning from your sight I had no hope for anything other than your scenes *** nor did I read a book that was not in your circus I asked you, O you who are not like him ***, something that the inevitable wanted from your destiny He said to me from my judiciary if you see my destiny *** my destiny will turn it back and everyone I leave It has come to you on the authority of a prophet regarding the removal of what you have decreed and what increases your age |
