Chapter: | On knowing the state of a Pole whose abode was ﴾that which is with you expires, and that which is with Allah is remaining﴿. |
Page 108 - from Volume Four (Display Image)It is for him to remain, so it is better and more enduring because he has the ruling in the very existence and the ruling is still perpetual, so he is better and more enduring than he who is better and more enduring in this ruling for what he gave the knowledge of himself to the world with it. Better and more enduring than he who has better and more enduring The truth is what it has *** but us and we have nothing else The goodness of truth is witnessed *** and the goodness of the universe is what we do not see And when he protected us, he showed us our father-in-law *** And when we saw him, we were his father-in-law From him to us and from us to him *** So the eye of our misguidance is from his guidance So for the servant in that and that which *** we saw of his ruling what he intended The notables of the world are preserved in his treasures, and his treasures are his knowledge and we store it. We affirmed to him the rule of storage, because we only know from us, so he was a middle path between the objectivity of our affirmation and the objectivity of our existence. Objectivity of affirmation, for his knowledge is the same as himself. Rather, it is called knowledge because of its attachment to the known, and attachment to love. If nothingness was a middle ground between the objectivity of affirmation and the objectivity of existence, then if he wanted to create us, he would pass us through non-existence, so we acquired from it the negation of the objectivity of affirmation. The existence of the truth in order to benefit from existence, so understand this arrangement, for it is beneficial and beneficial, for it gives you knowledge of the rule of the citizen and that it governs by itself in everyone who appears in it. That image was not what it was. This is the ruling of the abode. You have been judged in the truth, that you do not see it except like this, just as if you entered the place of rational consideration and exited from the treasury of the imagination and its home, you did not realize the Almighty God except that it was free from the image in which you perceived it in the place of God. Imagination and if the ruling is for the place, you know if you see the truth what you saw and prove it to the home, I mean that ruling so that the truth remains unknown to you forever, and you will not get knowledge of it in yourself except by unifying the rank for it. The home is that you do not see the truth except through it, for you depart from what he gave you of knowledge of in another place, so you judge the truth in every place by virtue of what is the exact ruling that you judged in the place before it. God Almighty, so what we have of him in one place is exhausted in another, and what we have is exhausted, and what is with God remains of his knowledge of himself that does not change, does not change, and does not vary for himself in himself with the diversity of the citizen, for the citizen is its diversity for itself, and if it did not vary, it would be one home just as the names if their meanings did not differ. One name as it is one in terms of its name, in the like of his saying Say, Call upon God or call upon the Most Merciful. This is in terms of the name, for He said, Whatever you call upon has the Beautiful Names. when you are running out And what God has remains as what I have informed you of, so I only knew of a true form that has no soul. If you knew the matter as I informed you of it, you breathed into that apparent form a spirit with which you would live, so you were a creator. And everyone who creates a picture without a soul, that is the photographer who will be punished with what he depicted on the Day of Resurrection, when it is said to him there I revive what I have created, not with my life. In the abode of the world, from his power over him, Jesus, peace be upon him, would blow into the bird that he created as a spirit, and it would be a bird with the image and meaning. The old man, God willing, who The crocodile picked it up and that Abu Yazid revived the ant by God s permission, just as the place of imagination gives in the eyes of the beholder the life and movement of inanimate objects, which in themselves is not that life that the eyes perceive like the ropes of the magicians of Moses, peace be upon him. |
