Page 661 - from Volume Two (Display Image)He distracted me from you, for this is the state of being confused, and it is a necessary epithet of the divine presence that is influential and for every divine name in which the beauty of truth is witnessed, it prevents the servant from adapting the truth and goes with every form that he controls or imagines. He, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, From humility, which is perseverance, and the horn of majesty with honor, and majesty has never been mentioned in the prophets except with honor accompanying it so that the figure of the servant remains and does not go away with his eyes. God with him influences him over everything, and then the glare disappears in time, and it is what comes to the heart from witnessing the beloved in the form of imagination. The necessary convergence, which is the effect of majesty in the soul, so the lover sees lying the imagined image in himself that says to him, I am your beloved and displays it in honor of his beloved. It is love, and by it God Almighty commanded His Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, to ask Him for an increase from it, because He appointed the divine guardianship through it. I am a servant, and I yearn only for the one who is under his protection, and nothing removes him from this station except knowledge. The confusion of the knower in the divine presence is the greatest confusion, because he is beyond limitation and restriction. The antelopes scattered among the scavengers *** so the stingers don't know what to hunt He has all the images, and what he has is an image that restricts him He used to say, may God bless him and grant him peace Because it is the highest station, the most exalted view, the ancestral position, the most glorious appearance, and the ideal way, and from this presence the warning was issued, so the decision was not made and the perdition came in the arena of the infidels. Or he has a hidden eye that runs with our eyes as a reward for him who disbelieves, so whoever says that there is nothing like it, then he has believed because what then exists is not hidden by an eye and is not confined to him where but God, for all sensual forms are in every form and not in every visible form. He is the eye and he is heard by every hearing, and he is the one to whom he does not hear a speech so that he can reason, nor does he look at him with sight so that he defines, nor does he have an appearance so he is restricted. Judgment and by it the true gifted knowledge testified to him, so the knowledge of the evidence negates it, as it is not in his hand from him and has nothing to do with anything but the attributes of depredation and disgrace. She is still from her position and that she did not obtain with her hand the knowledge of God except what she is in herself, so she herself was known and herself described, so he went out of the restrictions and limits by appearing in them to be the one who is the idol, for he has decreed that no one be worshiped except him, and the idols and idols were manifestations of him in the claim of the infidels, so they called them the name of God They worshiped only God, and He is the one who was indicated by that manifestation, so He fulfilled their needs, gave them water, and punished them, because they did not respect that divine grace in this inanimate image. Everything that you imagine in yourself or its image and your delusion, God is different from that, so it is true and lies, manifests and conceals. He departed from something that was not, and if it was in something that was not, then this has revealed to you what the effect of the necessary collision has, and that the scholars are those who are close to those who have realized this most intense scene and this great knowledge, and others have set up for him a sign that he worships and a reality that he witnesses and it is from them. Does it involve him believing in a proof that he has established or imitated the owner of evidence, then in himself he has won what he wants and has secluded his deity and settled in to him and rested from confusion and disbelief in what contradicts what he has and undoubtedly disbelieved others who believed other than his belief, for this he is a disbeliever |
