Chapter: | On knowing the Names of the Lord of Pride and the words permissible to call Him with and what is not permissible. |
Page 294 - from Volume Four (Display Image)Rather, it is two things, or what the structure has reached until it becomes things, yet something is said about it in terms of the singularity of the whole and the synthesis, not in terms of the singularity of everything in this totality. We know that there is no deity but Him, and what is presented to the Self as a single whole, for the Oneness of the Self is sensible, but is there a person in existence who is one in all aspects or not in that a pause, for the Oneness of everything, ancient and modern, is undoubtedly reasonable and one who has a grasp of intellect and a correct view cannot doubt it. Then if you look at this one, you must judge him by a proportion of what is inferior in rank, for it is not without a rank on which it is in existence. Either it is influential as a passive noun, or influential in it is a participle noun, or the aggregate, or not one of them. In existence except the total, and what has occurred from the mental division except the total, then what is then independent of influence, for the one who is able to influence has an effect by acceptance in himself as to the one who is able to influence it. In the doer s duty, he made him do it, and he did as he said, I will answer a supplication. The one who supplicates when he supplicates, then the question and supplication has the effect of the answer on the respondent, even if nothing happens in himself, because it is not a subject of accidents, but what we prove is the objects of lineage, and this is what is expressed by the Sharia in names. It is called an attribute according to the people of speech from the observers, and it is called a ratio according to the investigators, so what is in existence is one in all respects, and what is in existence is only one and one, it is necessary that then the ratios between the one and the one according to the reasonableness of that ratio, for the ratios are distinct from each other where is the will from the ability From speech from life from knowledge, the name of the All-Knowing gives what the Almighty does not give, and the Wise gives what no other names give, so make all of that lineage, name, or attributes. And to God belong the Most Beautiful Names, and they are nothing but these lineage. Do they have existential objects or not? There is a difference of opinion among the people of view. As for us, there is no disagreement in them. They are lineage and nouns based on reasonable, non-existent facts, so the Self is not multiplied by them, because a thing does not multiply except with existential objects, not with judgments and additions. There is nothing known that does not have oneness by which it is said that it is one. As for the saying of Abu Al-Atahiya And in everything there is a verse *** indicating that he is one So he is directed, along with the denial of presumptions, to matters such as that the pronoun is in his and that he reverts to the aforementioned thing. It is as if he says, and in everything there is a verse for that thing, it indicates that that thing is one in itself, and that is only the same thing in particular. The pronoun may refer to God in him and in that it has any indication that the One who created it has no partner in creating this thing, which is the intent of the poet undoubtedly. The singularity of every eye, whether it is the singularity of the one or the singularity of the plurality, the singularity of every possible eye indicates the singularity of the eye of truth with the multitude of its names, and the indication of each name on a meaning different from the connotation of the other. The truth is one in its names and in itself, so know that There is no monotheism or no multiplicity *** other than what we have said, so see see the truth And say after this whatever you like and be content with *** and confirm to him the verified combination and difference The matter is only between creation and creator *** So say if you really want and say if you want to create Samad, Hazrat SamadiyaI resorted my back to my corner and my support *** to the Omnipotent Lord of people and the Eternal And I said, Oh, you are the ultimate in all hopes. I recited a book in which it was known to me *** that if I die in it, it is not my hand If what I held in my hand was hers *** property, my eyes would not look at anyone |
