(Chapter 58) On knowing the secrets of the people of inspiration

Arguments and knowledge of a divine knowledge that flooded the heart, so it divided and dispersed its thoughts

If he gives you knowledge by inspiration *** check it out, then you are happy with it

Like bees, they have different meanings *** They are strong in their buildings

So receive good from a good origin *** and you will be a martyr for her forever

And in the trees and the smell of the hills *** It has a built palace who did it

Do not make you unable to rise to the heights of bees *** and you are the master of ice scars

It is from you that the intention is good and voluntarily *** just as you have intentions in your homes

So achieve and seek a single knowledge *** Like you, you are the new creation

[ Knowing God through the paths of reason and transmission ]

Know that God has supported you with a spirit from Him that God Almighty commanded us to know His oneness in His divinity, except that souls, when they heard that from him, even though they had considered with their thoughts and indicated the existence of truth with rational evidence, but rather by the necessity of reason with the knowledge of the existence of the Almighty, then they indicated the unification of this being that created them and that it is impossible. That He creates the Necessary Existence for Himself, and it should not be but one. Then they infer what should be upon Him who is Necessary Existence for Himself from the lineage in which it appeared from him what appeared from the possibilities and indicated the possibility of the message. Then the Messenger came and showed evidence of his sincerity that he is a Messenger from God. To us, so we knew with rational evidence that he is the Messenger of God, so we did not doubt, and the rational evidence established for us the truthfulness of what he tells of what is attributed to him. He is able to discredit the informant

[ Knowledge through transmission is not the same as knowing God through the mind .]

Then it was from some of what this legislator said to him: Know your Lord and this sane person, if he did not know his Lord, who is the foundation upon which he is reliable, what this Messenger believed, then the knowledge that the Messenger asked him to know by his Lord must be other than the knowledge that he gave him his evidence, which is to work in the acquisition of knowledge From God, by God, he accepts him with insight. These matters that God attributed to himself and described Himself with, which the mind referred to with its evidence, so he praised him with his belief in the Messenger that then beyond reason and what he gives him with his thought is another matter that gives knowledge of God what rational evidence does not give him, but refers it to one saying

[ Translational knowledge beyond the stage of the mind ]

If he knows about this force, which he knows is beyond the stage of the mind, does the judgment remain for him regarding what the mind was referring to in terms of his first thought to what it was, or does it not remain? And that that which he took as evidence to refer that to God was not evidence in the matter itself. The minds of the prophets, and before him, the intellect of this revealer, without a doubt, and there is no doubt. Nevertheless, it is judged by God that this matter is rationally impossible in terms of his thought, not in terms of his acceptance.

[ Wonderful is the mind that follows its thought and does not follow its Lord ]

This is one of the most amazing things among us that a person imitates his thought and his vision while he is innovating like him and one of the human powers that God created in him and made that power a servant of the mind and the mind imitates it in what this power gives it and knows that it does not exceed its rank and that it is unable in itself to have the rule of another force such as The preserved, the visualized, the imagined, and the powerful, which are the senses of touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight, and with all of this shortcomings, the mind imitates it in the knowledge of its Lord and does not imitate its Lord in what He tells about Himself in His Book and on the tongue of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace.

[ The limits of the horizons of the mind in terms of its outward and inward powers ]

And every thinker is under the rule of this mistake, without a doubt, except from light God gave his insight, so he knew that God had given everything its creation, so He gave the hearing its character, so that it does not exceed its comprehension, and made the mind poor in it. Cows, camel foaming, and the like, all of these sounds and confusion in the power of a mind in its own self-perception
