Page 640 - from Volume One (Display Image)In the presence of this manifestation, this manifestation is not known by personal taste, and the person witnesses it, the Almighty, if he is one of the people of knowledge of the perfect God in all the things in which the king is witnessed, then the king is in any position he was. This is what the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said to me in a scene of an incident that I saw, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, in it, so I asked him, but man gathers taste from the king for the sake of his association. The perfect, not the animal man, is the most complete creation of the realities on which the realities of the Divine Names and the realities of the world were established, and he is the one whom God created in the image. It is not said about a thing that it is better than itself, but the virtue lies between the two others and nothing else, for the king is part of the human being and the part of the whole, and the whole of the part has what is not for the part of the whole, and the two examples do not differ in what they are two examples in it. [ holds the house ]And we have a poem about that in a strange incident, and I called out to those who are in possession of the house I caught you in my house to show my picture *** Glory to you is my glory and glory be to us Your eyes have not seen a complete likeness of me *** nor have my eyes seen a human like you There is no more perfection left in the world than you, *** I have established a proof on this from the Sharia What perfection was none other than you *** in every way, that was what they were I was purified to my creation in the image of Adam *** and I decided this in the laws out of faith I named him when he appeared in my image *** to my eyes truly, even if he was a human being So say in it what you desire, if you wish, that it is *** to kiss it with an eye, even if it is universes If it was possible for you to be more complete than you *** then there would be a deficiency in if they were Because you are specific to the image of my presence *** and complete from it what is lost by me My presence is the same, so the meeting takes place *** Weigh yourself, I put you on a scale You will find the knowledge of what I have said in you underlined *** and no one from you I have created it to see My chamber appeared to us, and I saw my picture *** and I saw in you the universe as a symbol and clarification I was pleased with you when I saw your secrets *** and I announced my words when I manifested kindness And you are not my self, nor am I your self *** If you are an eye for me, do not reveal it now So we lost the one who used to reveal his secret *** and we won the one who used to hide it Whoever was concealing my secret and jealousy *** Tomorrow he will cast a soul for me and a breeze If you are an eye for me, I will be a hand for you *** and I will make you visible at once secretly and publicly And you made my heart a platform for transfiguration *** and made it a field for the love of your horses And I filled him with every gentleman who grumbled *** to call you knights roaming and riding us And I have brought you the names, whose plurality is presented *** from His most beautiful names, an expert and a benefactor And I sent it down desiring annihilation with your annihilation *** and I sent it a certain spring and a flood I have given you, O My servant, from the names of your self *** Festive clothes of various kinds and colors If you were mine with me, you would be you, and do not say *** I am you, but be merciful in creation [ Fasting deceives the month and the zakat of ten days ]So, may God assist you, verify what we have mentioned about fasting the three days of each month that we have mentioned, so it is in our right according to what we have mentioned. |
