Page 458 - from Volume Two (Display Image)![]() It makes sense between them three or more, so know that, then time and space are from the attachments of natural bodies as well, but time is an illusory matter that does not exist, which is shown by the motions of the celestial bodies or the motions of the biases, if the question is associated with when, then space and time do not exist in the eye either, but existence is for moving and static entities. It is what the empowered people settle on, not in it. If they are in it, then those spaces are not the place. The place is also a relative matter in an existing entity that the able-bodied settles on or cuts it by transitions on it, not in it. So that succession and succession without interspersing it for a period. From non-existence to existence, it becomes a universe and the removal of what appeared from it from the image of the universe is called corruption. It is due to different causes, as for colors, there are two types of them that carry out the same color, and some of them are colors that appear to the beholder of the beholder and what are in the eye of the colored because of the different shapes and what the light gives him in that body, it is with light that perception occurs, and so are shapes like colors It refers to two things, to the bearer of the form and to the sense of the perceiver of it. As for what else we have mentioned of the attachments of bodies, they are related to the perceiver, therefore neither to themselves nor to the described Essence, which is the natural bodies. The dense and its image to him is the image of the subtle in the influence of perception, so if they are dense except for those who do not have this influence, so among us are those who are not veiled by walls and not burdened by anything. The ruling on suffixes is not due to the animate beings in our view. As for the naturalists, for if they differ, then they are not on our path in knowledge of this. [ That a single thing is the eye, if different effects appear from it, then that is in terms of the possibilities ]And know that the same thing is the eye, if the different effects appear from it, then that is in terms of the similarities, not in terms of its essence, and from here, if this issue is investigated, the saying of the wise does not come from one but one, and the image of that in the element we are dealing with is that fire with what is fire does not change Its ruling is in terms of itself, and you find its effects different in rulings, so it illuminates bodies and does not illuminate bodies, although its illumination is by ignition. The eye is one and the ruling is different *** and knowledge perceives what the sight cannot perceive [ Things are things that have judgment ]And know that things individually have a ruling, and with their mixtures, rulings occur for them that were not or for one of them, and it is not known in the truth who is influential among one of the mixtures, is it for one or does each one have power, and what happened cannot be denied, for we know the blackness of the ink happened after it was not from The mixture of vitriol and tannins is the vitriol dyed tannins, which is the effect, and tannins is the effect in it, a noun that has an effect, and if that was the case, the vitriol would have remained as it is if it was not mixed, and the water of tannins would be dyed, which is the opposite. What we have said about theology, We will empty it for you, O heavyweights, and God will come on the Day of Resurrection to decide and judge, and in His hand is the scale. The Prophet, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, said, God was and there was nothing with Him. And he did not say, and he is now as he is. How would he say that, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and he is the most knowledgeable of creation in God, and he is the one who came from God by saying, Every day is a matter, and we will empty it for you, you two heavy ones. Was he described as descending to whom or from where or where, then he created things, then the lineage happened, so he leveled and descended and took the scale, then lowered and raised, so that the news that sound minds do not reject from desires and belief in them is obligatory and how is unreasonable. There is no self and preparations for exits |
