Page 244 - from Volume Four (Display Image)In the will of some people, and he criticized them for that. He said, This is the home of the hereafter. We make it for those who do not want highness on earth. And by the hereafter we mean Heaven specifically without the Fire. It takes place in the souls of others whom I have attained in the earth, and the scholars of God do not want exaltation in the earth because it is an acquired superiority, and they do not want what falls to the name of earning. I mean looking into it, which is the thought in itself, so what gives the height to this Presence is happiness, not arrogance. add Which of them was he high *** and by him they were inferior? I did not find God in us *** other than what we have said as an example He is the crown upon us *** when we were shoes It is the full moon called *** when it was a crescent God became subjective *** for the millstones of the universe to be heavy To Him belongs the glorification of us *** Almighty God Almighty God made in us *** to our elders impossible And if they did not extract it *** it would have been impossible to make them And if they slipped *** I did not find any disappearance from them By myself and by my Lord *** I was forbidden and permitted And by my Lord, not by being ***, weakness becomes impossible And he gave me a cup of my luck *** good, sweet, sweet I woke up when I drank *** I didn't find any drowsiness from it I also got drunk from it *** I was in myself a fantasy There was no one but me *** for the one who wanted to move When I moved *** about him I didn't find in myself no fatigue Yes, I did not see it *** when I said no or no Then there was no silence when I said it was impossible So I was freed in it *** and so I tasted pain I traveled west, then east ***, south and north Then We created clouds *** out of His gifts heavy Then we called you to find *** in your presence an access And the honor for the possible was not achieved except by adding them to God, and this honor in our right is the greatest honor possible. They did the human worship him because in it is his eye and the eye of his master, and the one dressed as his master wears a false dress that has nothing on him and his soul does not accept it while he knows that from himself, even if someone else is ignorant of him and acknowledges his superiority Therefore, from the face of that which is not in all respects, he knows that he is the identity of what is besides the truth, a well-known fact that is not ignorant. From him the sincere lover receives love with acceptance and contentment, and not every lover is a lover, because the request for the purpose of the lover is not correct in true love, which drains his strength, but that is for the one who has leftovers by which it is understood that he is a lover and that his beloved is not his. The height is because if he stood with his saying on the throne, he would have leveled himself and sufficed, and did not mention the descent and every part of the universe has a throne for him because it is his possession. And He is with you, wherever you were, and by descending, the limit and the measure appeared, so we knew of the descent in what form it manifested, and for the one who descended and to whom praise descended, meaning the consequence of praise returns to him in the first, which is the equator and the hereafter. Yes, the gnostics hear it, and the people of the audience, with their belief in this news, hear it. Except for these two types, he does not hear it. We did not know God Almighty that He spoke to Moses, except to be exposed to this divine breath and generosity, perhaps a breeze would blow on us from it, so people would take this definition that God spoke to Moses in praise of Moses, peace be upon him. Especially yes it is praise |
